S.S.C. Napoli vs Empoli F.C. Prediction 12 December 2021

On Saturday night, in the seventeenth round of Serie A, one of the leaders of the tournament, Napoli, will face humble Empoli.

After sixteen games, Napoli earned 36 points, making them third with a goal difference of 34:12. However, the Parthenopaeans are now far from their best condition. In the previous five meetings, they only defeated Lazio (4:0), while stumbling over Verona (1:1), Inter (2:3), Sassuolo (2:2) and Atalanta (2:3).

Elite rookie Empoli are renowned for their passion for attacking football, as we can clearly see in their recent duels with Genoa (2:2), Verona (1:2), Fiorentina (2:1), Torino (2:2) and Udinese (2:1). As a result, the honorable eleventh place with 23 points in the asset and the statistics of goals scored and conceded of 26:29.

Today's Napoli are stronger than Empoli, but the favorites are not famous for the exceptional reliability of their defense. We predict a match where each of the teams will have good chances to score a goal.
