Gli Azzuri lead the league with 35 points, while Empoli broke a two-match losing streak this weekend with a 1-0 win against Sassuolo.
Match preview
Another triumph on Tuesday would match their longest winning run in league play since 2018, and you have to fancy their chances to do so given their potency at home domestically, outscoring their last three opponents by a combined total of 10-3.
On Saturday, they came from behind to defeat Atalanta BC 2-1, the fourth time they have emerged victorious from a league fixture this season despite conceding the opening goal.
Since September, they have won seven consecutive matches at home in all competitions, outscoring their previous two opponents (Rangers and Sassuolo) 7-0.
The club from Florence have lost four of their five league fixtures in which they had conceded the opening goal, gaining only one point in that scenario this season.
In their previous campaign, they won both of their domestic encounters versus Napoli, including a 1-0 road victory, the first against them as the visitors since 2007-08.
Before their 4-0 defeat at Juventus last month, this team had avoided defeat in four of their five Serie A road fixtures, their best form away from home since 2006-07 when they earned points in six matches as the visitors.
Team News
Victor Osimhen picked up his league-leading eighth goal of the Serie A campaign for Napoli on Saturday, with the winner coming courtesy of Eljif Elmas, his second of the season.
Alex Meret has not conceded at home in his last two matches in all competitions, while Osimhen had a hat-trick in their previous domestic home game, which they won 4-0 over Sassuolo, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring his sixth of the campaign.
We saw four new faces begin their match versus Atalanta this past weekend who were not in the starting 11 when they lost 2-0 against Liverpool in their final Champions League group fixture before the knockout stage.
Juan Jesus, Piotr Zielinski, Elmas and Hirving Lozano replaced Leo Ostigard, Tanguy Ndombele, Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano in the opening lineup this past weekend.
Baldanzi is tied with Filippo Bandinelli for the team lead in goals on the season (two), though the Empoli skipper has not found the back of the net in six consecutive matches, as this team have struggled to score in 2022-23 after losing their top two goalscorers, Szymon Zurkowski and Andrea Pinamonti, during the summer transfer window.
Possible starting lineup:
| Napoli | Empoli |
|---|---|
| Meret, Alex | Vicario, Guglielmo |
| Di Lorenzo, Giovanni | Parisi, Fabiano |
