Empoli - Napoli betting tips and odds

There is a big reason why Empoli are given 7.50 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Napoli and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

Napoli are expected to win this match, which is made quite clear by the 1.46 odds that can be found with most bookies. The odds are not so short as to make an Away Win bet not worth taking, though, which also implies a certain degree of risk.

Empoli will have been delighted with their result from the last round of the Serie A. They were the overwhelming underdogs heading into their last league trip and their fans were not exactly confident their team would return home with anything in the bag. However, a brave first-half display saw Empoli take the lead and earn a gigantic point after the break, in what turned out to be a rather surprising Fiorentina draw.

Napoli are coming on the back of a crushing victory in their previous away match. While it’s true that Sassuolo were somewhat weaker opponents, such a result in an away game deserves nothing but praise.

Napoli netted 8 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Napoli are well on their way towards a championship title. They’re at the top of the standings in the mid-season and aren’t very likely to lose their spot any time soon – though the end is still quite far.

Napoli decisively won their previous engagement with Empoli. They secured a multiple-goal difference in an earlier round of the Serie A, and most bookies are expecting a repeat of that success.

No suspensions or injuries means both teams will have their full lineups available for a highly anticipated matchup.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
