Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Empoli lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Saturday.
Empoli vs Napoli Preview
Empoli are currently in 17th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled this season. The hosts slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lecce in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table and have failed to meet expectations this season. The Neapolitan outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Frosinone last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
