Napoli vs Empoli prediction, H2H and probable lineups — April 14, 2025
In the 32nd round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Napoli and Empoli will take place. The game will be held in Naples on Monday, April 14. The kickoff is scheduled for 20:45 Central European Time. I suggest betting on both the outcome and the scoring of this game.
Match Preview
With seven matches remaining in the season, the Neapolitans are striving to keep the intrigue alive in the race for the Scudetto. In the last round, Conte's men failed to capitalize on Inter's slip and also ended with a draw.
There is currently a three-point gap between the teams, and Napoli could benefit from a more favorable schedule in terms of opponent strength and the absence of distractions from other tournaments.
At this final stretch of the season, Empoli faces familiar challenges. The team is making every effort to retain its place in the top division but is currently in the relegation zone.
Empoli scores sparingly, surpassing only Lecce in this metric. Interestingly, the club performs better away, having earned 15 out of 24 points on the road. Notably, they are just 2 points away from the safe 17th spot, so their chances of survival are decent.

There is little doubt about the home win. The support of the home crowd will keep the team focused, and the opponent does not seem capable of posing significant resistance. My bet is on a Napoli victory and a total under 4.5 goals.
