He will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 10 of their 11 games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Victor Osimhen has scored in each of Napoli's last 3 league games.
Empoli, Recent FormThe Empoli squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Frosinone, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 36% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Frosinone who had 17 attempts and 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and this season overall, they've failed to score in 8 of their 11 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. They've had a poor start to their season losing 8 of 11 league games.
On an individual basis, Francesco Caputo has scored in each of Empoli's last league game away from home.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Napoli produced a comfortable 0-2 victory.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Azzurri have been unable to break through Napoli's defence and find the back of the net. In their previous 3 encounters with Napoli, Azzurri have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Napoli has won the last 2 games they've played against Empoli in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Napoli manager Rudi Garcia ahead of this clash, with Victor Osimhen (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Garcia a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Mattia Destro (Muscle) and Giuseppe Pezzella (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Aurelio Andreazzoli will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
