Sassuolo - Napoli predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Napoli.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Napoli to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

Sassuolo are coming off of a harsh lesson in their home game against Empoli. They went into that game with confidence and the support of playing as hosts but barely managed to get off the ground. After quickly falling behind in the first half, they eventually had to settle for a 2:3 defeat.

Napoli also played on away grounds last round, and things didn’t exactly go their way. An away draw isn’t always a bad thing, but they were still the 1.91 favourites to win that showdown. Their failure to gain a definitive lead over their opponents doesn’t speak highly of their current form.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The relegation fight is becoming a difficult reality for Sassuolo after 21 rounds in the Serie A. The current campaign is not exactly panning out the way hosts would have imagined but not everything is lost. However, with Napoli coming to town, Sassuolo are likely to look for salvation points elsewhere.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Napoli decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 4.02 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 1xbet.
