Empoli vs Napoli Prediction: the Visitors Will Keep Their Lead

Prediction for the Serie A match between Empoli vs Napoli, which will take place on October 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Blues played Lazio away in the last matchday before the break for the national team and failed 1:2. This was the first loss for Empoli in the current championship. Overall, the hosts are doing well under the guidance of Roberto D'Aversa. They're currently not at risk of being relegated from Serie A. 

Antonio Conte's work is paying off. After seven rounds, Napoli, who aren't participating in European cups this season, sits at the top of the Italian league standings. After losing to Verona in the first round, Napoli has gone on a six-match unbeaten streak, winning five of them.

Empoli has traditionally been one of Napoli's most challenging opponents. By way of example, last season the Neapolitans lost twice to the Tuscans. In the first H2H meeting in the new league, the Blues should give Antonio Conte's team a run for their money, especially since they've only lost one match in the current championship out of seven so far. We're betting on the hosts here, and we don't expect a lot of goals. Both Napoli and Empoli concede less than one goal per game on average.
