The Serie A leaders Napoli visit Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani in a game from the 8th round of the competition. We are pretty sure it\u2019s going to be a solid match, so let\u2019s preview it in these best soccer tips today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli are being revived since the arrival of the famed head coach Antonio Conte. They are currently leaders in the league with 16 points – two points ahead of Inter Milan. Napoli have won five of their seven matches so far which speaks highly of Conte\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four wins and one draw – this is how Napoli are doing in the last five matches. Before the break they hosted Como at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and executed a 3-1 win. Scott McTominay, Romelu Lukaku and David Neres scored for the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Belgian star Romelu Lukaku is doing what he was signed for. The former Inter Milan striker has three goals in five Serie A games so far. Lukaku is the player who was chosen to replace Victor Osimhen and so far he\u2019s doing it pretty well. We should believe that Lukaku is going to have a pretty good season at Napoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antonio Conte is a coach who likes to change his tactics. At this moment he\u2019s using a 4-2-3-1 formation with Scott McTominay playing behind the striker. The former Manchester United player is playing pretty well since arriving in Italy. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano usually start on the wings while Stanislav Lobotka and Franck Anguissa formed a duo in midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli\u2019s dynamics under Toto Conte is something else. There was a reason why the fans were so happy when Conte agreed to join them. He\u2019s a proven coach in the Serie A, winning the league multiple times. Since his arrival, Napoli instantly turned into one of the contenders for winning the title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empoli are currently at the middle of the table with 10 points from seven matches played. Here we should mention that Empoli have lost just one of their last five matches – against Lazio just before the international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Empoli it was a disappointing affair at the Olimpico against Lazio. The team was close to getting a point from the match, but they conceded a late winning goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empoli\u2019s head coach Roberto D\u2019Aversa deserves compliments for his work at the team so far. More or less, right now Empoli are a team that is hard to beat. It\u2019s not a coincidence that they are in the middle of the table right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacopo Fazzini and Faustino Anjorin are two of Empoli\u2019s most important players. These two midfielders are the team\u2019s dynamos in the middle of the pitch. They will be crucial in the next match as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
