Empoli plays host to Napoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani for this Serie A match. The home team are in 14th position with 34 points while the visitors are in third position with 67 points. Empoli were thumped 4-1 by Udinese in their last match which has extended their run without a victory to an incredible 17 matches across all competitions. Their last league win was against their opponents in this match when they won 1-0 in Naples. They have however never beaten Napoli twice in one season Empoli have not won any of their last seven home matches with three draws in their last four home games. Empoli’s 16 league matches without a win is the longest winless streak across the top 5 leagues in Europe. They have seven draws and seven losses in the second half of the season. No team in Serie A history has failed to win a match in the second half of the season and survived relegation.

Napoli will be kicking themselves as they dropped two points in their last match against Roma. They led the match after an early penalty but then conceded deep into injury time against a ten man Roma team. This draw now means they are four points behind leaders AC Milan. Napoli have now dropped five points in their last two league games severely denting their title aspirations. Their record away to Empoli is not great as they have only won once in their eight visits to Tuscany, drawing four and losing three matches. Napoli however boast the best away record in the league this season picking up a joint league high 37 points on the road with their only away defeat coming against Inter Milan.
