Although there would be some chance at Empoli, play the team in their field, but leaving for Naples does not promise anything but defeat. We predict that guests will not even be able to distinguish themselves - "Both will score - no” for 1.80
Neapolitans do not hesitate to score a lot to outsiders, so that you can put on the "top". Interesting options are TB 2.5 for 1.50 and "2-3 goals in a match” for 2.05
Ancelotti's team last week played against Roma, where they once again issued a bright attacking football, which, however, did not bring Napoli three points. The advantage of the Neapolitans was very significant and is reflected in almost all components - 26 shots against 8, 63% of possession, 2 goals Napoli were canceled due to offside, but at the same time Napoli spent the entire game trying to level the score. Already in the 13th minute, Shaaravi took advantage of a defense mistake and shot without resistance from the goalkeeper's line. By the way the game evolved, it would obviously not be fair if Napoli lost, and in the 89th minute Mertens still equalized the score in the match. Napoli lost points for the second time in the last five rounds, before losing to Juventus. With more modest rivals, Ancelotti’s wards do not have any problems - 3-0 with Parma and Udinese, 2-0 with Sassuolo, 3-1 with Torino.

Empoli played against Juventus and managed to compete with the champions, who still frankly failed the first half. With all the superiority, before the break, Juventus did not threaten the goal of the Conductor at all. Moreover, the best attack of the half was a success for the players of Empoli, who in the 27th minute opened the scoring in the match. After the break, the situation repeated itself - Juventus attacked very badly, but Ronaldo was on Juve’s side, and the judge decided to help Allegri wards. In the middle of the half, a penalty was awarded (in my opinion, quite rightly, the help of the judges was that before that such moments were not always interpreted as fouls), which Ronaldo had implemented without any problems. Even after 15 minutes, Ronaldo played his classic kick - from outside the penalty area to the far nine. The ball was very beautiful and stressed that the Portuguese finally got accustomed to Serie A. In the last seven rounds, Ronaldo has 7 goals and 3 assists. Empoli continues to lose points - since the start of the season, Andreatsolli wards have only one victory in the first round over Cagliari. In the next 9 matches - 3 draws and 6 losses.
Empoli should not be a difficult opponent for Ancelotti’s charges. The variability of Napoli under the new coach led to the fact that against the opponents locking in their half of the field, the Neapolitans can offer many options for opening the defense. The last matches against middle peasants and outsiders clearly show that Napoli’s attack is excellent, the team can score. Napoli is currently one of the best attacks of Serie A, and I expect that Ancelotti's team won a landslide victory.

In the ninth round, Juventus lost points for the first time, and Napoli took advantage of it. Azzurri reduced the gap from the leaders to four points, but it did not last long. A week later, Juve scored with difficulty in Empoli, and the team of Carlo Ancelotti in his field did not cope with Roma - Dris Mertens saved Napoli from defeat in the last minute. Until Old Signora again six points, besides the Neapolitans caught up with Inter.
In no case can Napoli lose points again, but on Tuesday at Partenopei an important Champions League match against PSG. Ancelotti is unlikely to give up the rotation, but can there really be problems against Empoli, who is in 18th place?
Can - proven by Juventus. Aurelio Andreadzolli's team led against the champion, and only Cristiano Ronaldo's double helped the bianconeri not to disgrace themselves in the province. Empoli did not play on defense, no buses — the Tuscans boldly advanced, and deserved praise from Massimiliano Allegri, who noted their bravery.

However, courage does not bring points. For ten rounds at Empoli one win (in the first round over Cagliari). And the away team Andreadzolli took two points (draws with Chievo and Frosinone, defeats by Genoa, Sassuolo and Parma). Is it worth mentioning that Napoli in Serie A has one home defeat in a year?
Juventus at Stadio Castellani lacked energy and speed in the attack, Napoli had no problems with that. Roma Parthenopey struck about 30 shots on goal - the implementation failed. If Empoli decides not to close in the penalty area, like the Romans after a goal, but also try to attack, then the hosts will be much easier.
With the modest opponents of Napoli, this season, as a rule, decides everything before the break - Ancelotti's team scored against Torino, Parma, Sassuolo and Udinese after the first half. But never this season, the Parthenopei have not scored more than three goals. Empoli, in turn, does without crushing defeats. The Tuscans have 15 goals conceded - less than Genoa and Sassuolo, only one more than Milan and two more than Roma.
