Napoli v Empoli Betting Tips [13 December 2021]

Napoli host Empoli on Matchday seventeen of the Serie A at the Stadio Sao Paolo. The hosts are placed third in the league with thirty-six points from sixteen matches while the visitors are eleventh in the standings with twenty-three points from sixteen matches. Napoli have the opportunity to go to the top of the table with a win over Empoli given that Milan and Inter drop points in their respective matches. Napoli come into the game with a 3-2 win over Leicester City in the Europa League. However, they are on a two-game winless run in the domestic league and lost 3-2 to Atalanta at home. Napoli have been conceding a lot of goals off-late which has been the primary reason due to which they have missed out on staying top of the table. Napoli have had over 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight fixtures and have just one clean sheet in their last eight matches.

Empoli come into the game with a dominating 3-1 win at home over Udinese. They are now on a three-match unbeaten run and look in good touch before travelling to Naples. Empoli also have had over 2.5 goals in seven out of their last nine matches and have no clean sheets in their last eleven matches. It is also to be noted that each of the last four meetings between the two sides also had over 2.5 goals thus promising the upcoming fixture will be a cracker in terms of number of goals to be scored if the two teams continue their current defensive run.

Both the teams have been conceding regular goals in their last few matches and hence it is expected that there will be goals in this match. The two sides like to play a high line of defence and are attacking in nature. We are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
