&lt;p&gt;After the victory over Salernitana, Napoli will be on the hunt for another 3 points to try to catch up with those above them in the table: the Neapolitans have won 21 points so far. Only one squad in the history of Serie A since the decision to involve 20 teams (2004/05) has managed to win the Scudetto having collected 21 points or less after the first 11 games in the top flight (Juventus in 2015/16 who had 15 points at this point of the season).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To try and further their campaign, Napoli must improve their home results: away from the Maradone the Azzurri are travelling at an average of 2.33 points per game in 6 games, but at home this drops to 1.4 on average after 5 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli are second to last in the standings and have a record of 8 defeats in the first 11 games. The Tuscans have only ever recorded 7 or less points at this point in the campaign three times before in their Serie A TIM history (2003/04, 2016/17 and 2018/19, all three seasons ended in relegation to Serie B).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only Bayern Munich has a higher average of shots per match than Napoli (19.9 per game compared to Napoli’s 18.6) in the top-5 European leagues this season; in general, only Real Madrid (215) has had more shots so far this season than the Azzurri (204).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli is one of three squads, with Lorient and Bournemouth, who still haven’t scored from a dead ball situation in the top-5 European leagues this season. The Tuscan side, with 4 goals, has the worst attack in the same top-5 leagues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli and Empoli haven’t drawn in the last 9 games in Serie A TIM: there have been 6 Napoli wins including the 2 last seasons, and 3 for Empoli. The Neapolitans won both games against Empoli in 22/23 2-0 and have never kept 3 clean sheets in a row against them in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Naples, there have been 7 home wins, 1 draw, and 2 wins for the visitors in the 10 games between Napoli and Empoli in Serie A TIM at the Maradona: in 8 of these games, Napoli have scored at least 2 goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giacomo Raspadori has scored in his last 2 appearances in Serie A TIM and has never managed to score in 3 consecutive games in the top flight; he scored his last brace in the league against Empoli on 9 January 2022, but for Sassuolo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has got 3 goals and 3 assists so far this season: after the first 11 games of Serie A TIM 22/23, he had the same number of assists but had scored 2 more goals for a total of 5.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sebastiano Luperto, who debuted in Serie A TIM for Napoli (22 appearances in the top flight between 2015 and 2020), is one of 13 players that has been on the pitch for every minute of the first 11 games, the only Empoli player.
