Napoli form and stats

Home games in the Serie A have been a walk in the park for Napoli so far, with 16 points won from 6 matches; 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Napoli has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. We remember; it was Lecce.

Napoli enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Atalanta's place. The match ended 2-1 with Elmas and Osimhen scoring. The forward Osimhen outperformed all the other footballers in that game and received a match rating of 7.25 out of 10. Osimhen scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Before that, a defeat in the away fixture against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Udinese in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games). From these home matches, Napoli have conceded only 4 goals.

Empoli form and stats

There's been little loot from Empoli's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Serie A. Empoli only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.

Empoli had fun at their own home (Stadio Diego Armando Maradona) last time out, beating Sassuolo 1-0. Baldanzi scored. Marin got a match rating of 8.1 in that game, top player of the team. Marin hit four key passes.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Atalanta.

With the hosting team given a victory probability of approximately 80% by the bookmakers, any favourable result for the away side would be a surprise. Checking earlier games with similar odds and Empoli as the visiting side, we found 4 results. The numbers from these were 2 away wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. The outsiders lost 0 of these fixtures by a margin of at least two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Empoli are hosting Cremonese in the Serie A only three days away.

The attacking power of Empoli when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Empoli have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
