Empoli take on the visitors Napoli in the round 24 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Stadio Carlo Castellani (Empoli).
Empoli are an average team in Serie A that is far from the relegation zone but also does not contend for high positions. Currently, they are in 12th place in the standings. After a sensational victory over Inter, the team stopped winning. In the last four matches, Empoli only lost once (to Roma 0-2). They also had draws with Fiorentina, Torino, and even Spezia, who are fighting for survival. These are not the results that inspire serious confidence in Empoli even getting a draw against the future champion of the country.

The future champion of the country is Napoli, it is hardly disputable. The Neapolitans have become an unstoppable machine. In Serie A, they have won 20 matches in 23 rounds and are already 15 points ahead of their closest pursuer in the standings. Osimehen and Khvicha assist each other in every match. The team currently has no problems. In the Champions League this week, Napoli also won, away from home against the current holder of the Europa League cup, among other things (2-0). Yes, Eintracht was in minority for the last half hour, but as they say, this is not a problem for Spalletti and his players. Empoli are not the opponent that can take points from such a powerful team.
There is no need to invent anything in this match, to reinvent the wheel. We simply pick the victory of the favorite, who is in excellent form and has not conceded since the beginning of the season. I do not think that even the fatigue factor after the Champions League match will prevent Luciano Spalletti's players from achieving another victory in the championship, their eighth in a row. Of course, anything can happen in football, but Empoli is significantly inferior to the visitors in terms of class to count on points. Three times this season, Paolo Zanetti's team has already lost at home. I think they will lose for the fourth time. Napoli is indifferent to whether they play away or at home, having won 10 out of 12 away matches. In the reverse fixture of the current season, Neapolitans defeated Empoli 2-0. I think they will win again.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win.
