Empoli vs Napoli Match Preview And Prediction
Empoli vs Napoli: Five of Empoli’s previous six league games ended in losses. In the last two Serie A games, Napoli scored six goals. In four of Napoli’s previous five matches across all competitions, at least three goals were scored.
Empoli’s fight for relegation will resume on Saturday afternoon. On Matchday No. 33, they welcome Napoli to Stadio Carlo Castellani. The hosts come into the match having suffered five losses in their previous six league games. They are currently in the red zone, one point ahead of Frosinone in the Serie A rankings.
Seven days ago, Empoli lost 0-1 on the road at Lecce, their direct relegation rivals. The team led by Davide Nicola gave a dismal display at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare. They failed to register a single shot on goal over the ninety minutes of play, demonstrating their utter lack of teeth in the final third.
Napoli won’t enter this with the best of intentions either. They lost by two points to Frosinone last Sunday in a 2-2 draw. On two instances, the Partinopei led but were unable to hold it. They gave their opponents far too many open looks during the match.
Empoli vs Napoli: Betting Analysis
In recent years, Arsenal has dominated this meeting. They will enter this having defeated Wolves five times in a row. The Gunners defeated Wolverhampton 2-1 in a close game played at Emirates Stadium in December of last year. Five of the last seven head-to-head games between these rivals saw at least three goals scored.
Wolves’ defense has recently shown a great deal of weakness. In each of the previous five games, they have conceded at least two goals in every competition. A month ago, the team lost 2-3 at home to Coventry City in the FA Cup quarterfinal.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has finished the last 12 Premier League games with 10 wins, 1 tie, and 1 defeat. Since then, they have only let up six goals. Prior to their defeat by Aston Villa last weekend, the Gunners had kept three straight clean sheets in the league. Even a goalless draw at Manchester City in late March was part of the run.
The Gunners enter this match having defeated Wolverhampton five times in a row in their head-to-head meetings. With two points separating them from Man City in the title fight, they cannot afford a mistake. At 2.05 odds, we will support Arsenal to lead at halftime and win the game in the end.
