Empoli Analysis: Coming off a close 1-0 loss

Four of the last six league encounters between Empoli and Napoli have ended in victories for the former, including their surprising 1-0 triumph in Naples last November, where Viktor Kovalenko scored a stoppage-time goal to steal the win. With six rounds left, the Tuscan club is fighting for survival and needs a repeat performance this next weekend. They now lie 17th in the top-flight league. Last time out, Empoli, who were just one point above Frosinone in eighteenth place, lost to a late goal at Lecce’s Via del Mare, drawing them into a seven-team battle to avoid filling two more relegation spots alongside dismal Salernitana. They’ve already lost 5 of their previous 6 games to zero, and since March started, they’ve lost more games than any other Serie A team due to their inability to score goals.

Napoli Analysis: They just drew 2-2 their last game

Napoli, who needed points to stay in touch with Italy’s top six, had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Stadio Maradona on Sunday after twice blowing leads at home against a Serie A struggling team. Walid Cheddira, the Partenopei’s on-loan striker, caused more problems for the team by scoring both of Frosinone’s goals and offsetting finishes from Matteo Politano and Victor Osimhen. Francesco Calzona’s team has now allowed goals twice in each of their previous 3 matches with this latest setback, but at least a poor run of goals in front of goal has ended before European qualifying slipped out of reach.
