Sunday 29th October 2017 – Kickoff: 1400hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Napoli can establish a three point cushion over second placed rivals Juventus if they manage to take all three points in Sunday afternoon’s Serie A clash against bottom half outfit, Sassuolo at their Stadio San Paolo.
With Juventus recording a useful 2-0 win away at AC Milan yesterday, Napoli will have added incentive to gain all three points here to consolidate their position at the top of the table, and having won nine of their ten league matches so far this season, they look well set to do just that.
Napoli’s stranglehold on Serie A has gone from strength to strength as they head into this encounter having put together an excellent unbeaten run of 22 matches, along with an early impressive home record of 3-1-0 12/1 with Belgian forward, Mertens (9 goals) their leading goalscorer this season.
Visitors Sassuolo sit just two points above the relegation zone as they make their way to Napoli with a very tall order of getting something from this clash against their in-form hosts who are in red hot form right now.
Sassuolo have recorded just two league wins in the Serie A so far this season, which curiously, have both been registered away from home with wins at bottom half outfits, Cagliari and SPAL, the latter sitting second from bottom in Serie A.
But the visitors will face a very tough assignment here, despite possessing a reasonable looking away record of 2-0-3 4/11, but just four clean sheets from their last 24 matches on their travels tells its own story of why Sassuolo find themselves in the bottom half of Serie A.
Pick: Napoli HT/FT @ 1.50 bet365
