Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
Napoli will look to move one step closer to winning their first Scudetto since 1990 when they welcome Empoli to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday evening. The Neapolitans came from behind to beat Atalanta in Bergamo, with the team extending their winning run to nine games in the Serie A.
Luciano Spalletti’s troops are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Empoli, and even though important winger Kvaratskhelia is likely to miss the match with a back injury, we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. The Azzurri, on the other hand, defeated Sassuolo at home thanks to Tommaso Baldanzi’s goal, but given their anything but good away record, we predict that Napoli are going to pick up all three points from the midweek game. Experienced forward Mattia Destro has joined defender Koni De Winter in Empoli’s recovery room.
