Napoli take on the visitors Empoli in the round 14 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 8th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli had largely updated over the summer. If Ospina and, with reservations, Mertens have clearly passed their peak here, then Coulibaly, Fabian Ruiz and especially Insigne remained the leaders here. But they were not just painlessly replaced - and there, having made serious progress under Spalletti, last season, the team added even more. They made a great return to the Champions League, simply not noticing her opponents in the group, although there her opponents were, among other things, Ajax and Liverpool. Yes, and in Serie A, at first, having not played the best football (in August there were draws with Fiorentina and Lecce), then the Parthenopei gave out a protracted series of victories, which allowed them to gain a foothold in the sole 1st place. Another important step towards the Scudetto was the away victory over the closest pursuer, Atalanta. Osimhen became the hero in Bergamo: Viktor had a goal and an assist.

Empoli have a fairly long (in 2020 celebrated its centenary), but not a particularly glorious history. It was not so often that it was possible to break into Serie A, and even more so to linger at this level. So the 14th place in the last season of the rookie could definitely be considered a success. But at the same time, the mentor was changed anyway in the summer - they decided to replace the well-managed Aurelio Andreazzoli with Paolo Zanetti. He, as a coach, was remembered for his rise to Calcio with "Venice", but he could not keep her there, and he was fired before the end of last season. And so far, the young specialist is not particularly convincing in a new place. There are few victories, points are taken with difficultiews, and his new wards score much less than they concede in return - in general, there is a classic struggle for survival. And then in the last round it turned out to take the most important victory over Sassuolo 1-0. This allowed to climb to a fairly comfortable position in Calcio.
Last season, having just returned to Serie A, Empoli pleasantly surprised during head-to-head matches with a strong opponent. They won both matches against Napoli. Bookmakers believe that there is no room for intrigue in this pair. Empoli will not be able to give out 2 successes in a row - we bet that in this match Napoli will be able to win with a handicap of "-2 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -2.0 handicap.
