Empoli-Napoli is a match valid for the eighth day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.: stats, news, probable formations, prediction, live TV, streaming.
The qualification obtained in the Coppa Italia against Modena only on penalty kicks and the 3-0 defeat suffered in the Serie A debut against Hellas Verona had immediately made the ghosts of last season reappear in the Napoli house. New coach Antonio Conte, however, immediately put things back on track and thanks in part to reinforcements that arrived in the last few days of the soccer market, he revamped the team and took it to the top of the standings.
The defense after the drubbing of the opener has been almost impenetrable: also thanks to the change of module it is second only to Juventus in the number of Expected Goals conceded. Speaking of Excpected Goals conceded, there is an important statistic concerning precisely Napoli’s next opponent, the surprising Empoli tenth in the standings with already ten points won despite a difficult schedule.
Empoli is in fact the team that so far has the highest negative balance between goals conceded and Expected Goals conceded, -5.86. Credit to goalkeeper Vasquez and also to the poor accuracy of the opponents encountered. However, the fun could end with McTominay, Lukaku and Kvaratskhelia facing off.
