As Napoli prepares to face struggling Empoli on Saturday, they aim to keep their hopes alive for a European place next season, even as they are soon to relinquish their status as Serie A champions. The Scudetto holders were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Frosinone last weekend, highlighting their recent struggles.

However, Napoli remains in contention for a European spot, sitting in seventh place in the standings, just two points behind sixth-placed Atalanta. With only six rounds remaining, every match is crucial for Napoli to stay in touch with the top six and secure European qualification for the next season.

Their opponents, Empoli, find themselves in a different battle as they fight to avoid relegation. Sitting in 17th place, Empoli is just one point above the relegation zone, making every point crucial in their bid for survival.

Empoli will look to build on their recent home form, aiming for successive home wins for the first time since last May. Their victory over Napoli earlier in the season will provide them with confidence as they seek to secure another vital three points.

In terms of team news, Napoli will be without defenders Amir Rrahmani and Mario Rui due to suspension, while Empoli will miss winger Emmanuel Gyasi due to suspension as well.

Despite Empoli's recent success against Napoli and their fighting spirit to avoid relegation, Napoli's attacking prowess and quest for European qualification make them the favorites in this encounter. A closely contested match is expected, but Napoli is likely to edge out Empoli with a 3-1 victory, securing three valuable points in their pursuit of European football next season.

当那不勒斯准备在周六面对苦苦挣扎的恩波利时，他们的目标是保持下赛季进入欧洲赛场的希望，即使他们很快就会放弃意甲冠军的地位。上周末，意甲卫冕冠军被弗罗西诺内2-2逼平，这凸显了他们最近的挣扎。

然而，那不勒斯仍然在争夺欧洲席位，目前排名第七，仅落后第六的亚特兰大两分。在只剩下6轮的情况下，每一场比赛对那不勒斯来说都是至关重要的，以保持与前六名的联系，并确保下赛季的欧洲资格。

他们的对手恩波利在为保级而战时发现自己处于一场不同的战斗中。恩波利目前排名第17，只比降级区高出1分，每一分都对他们的生存至关重要。

恩波利将在他们最近主场的基础上再接再厉，目标是自去年五月以来的首次主场连胜。他们在赛季初对那不勒斯的胜利将给他们信心，因为他们正在寻求另一个至关重要的三分。

球队方面的消息是，那不勒斯后卫阿米尔·拉赫马尼和马里奥·鲁伊将因停赛而缺阵，而恩波利边锋伊曼纽尔·加西也将因停赛而缺阵。

尽管恩波利最近在对阵那不勒斯的比赛中取得了成功，而且他们的战斗精神也在保级，但那不勒斯的进攻能力和对欧洲资格的追求使他们成为这场比赛的热门。预计这将是一场势均力敌的比赛，但那不勒斯很可能以3-1的比分击败恩波利，为下赛季的欧洲赛场争取到宝贵的三分。
