Sassuolo Preview – Are Sassuolo set to follow up their weekend win with the scalp of another title contender?

Sassuolo had failed to win a game in November before their visit to San Siro on Sunday, to face a team who were at the time joint top of Serie A. Optimism wouldn’t have been in great supply that they would get their first three points in four games but they were excellent on the day and fully deserving of their 3-1 victory. Even going a goal behind didn’t deter them and in the end they were comfortable in seeing the game out with their opponents going down to 10 men in the closing stages.

It was a welcome return to form as Sass had taken just one point from the previous three games. The win sees them jump up to 12th spot in the league and just three points off 6th place.

Alessio Dionisi will now be looking for his team to put a run together, at the same time recognising that the visit of the league leaders is going to be a huge challenge. Particularly as they have picked up just two wins in seven games at the MAPEI Stadium.

They may not have as many wins as they would have liked by this stage but Sassuolo remain one of the most entertaining teams in Serie A. Their last eight games have all had both teams scoring and each of them have had three or more goals scored in them.

Napoli Preview – Can Napoli maintain their lead at the top with a rare win at this venue?

It’s been a terrific start to life for Luciano Spalletti as Napoli boss. Taking over this summer following a pretty underwhelming campaign last season meant that expectations were mixed for the team under the former Inter and Roma head coach. That’s not the case now and many of the Naples community are dreaming of a first league title since 1990.

Napoli have a three point lead over Milan following the weekend’s results – a round of fixtures which seen them demolish Lazio 4-0. A win significant as it came against their former coach Maurizio Sarri who is now in charge of the Rome club.

Their only defeat in the league so far came against Inter last weekend and followed dropped points at home to Verona earlier in the month. Napoli also lost away to Spartak Moscow in the Europa League so defeating Lazio in the manner they did was important.

Looking at Napoli’s away form in Serie A and it makes for impressive reading. Their last 11 games on the road have seen them win nine and draw one. They’ve also failed to score in just one of their last 20 away league matches.

Sassuolo vs Napoli Betting Advice

This has the makings of a really entertaining game. Sassuolo’s games tend to also feature goals (averaging 3.07 per game in the league this season) and they face a Napoli team who are the joint second highest scorers in Serie A. One of the characteristics of the visiting side is how they spread the goals around. They have 13 different scorers this season and five of them have at least three.

They are going to have to call on those goals if they are to win this fixture, however, as they have managed just one win here in their last five visits.

 

Key Facts – Sassuolo vs Napoli Betting Tip

  • Both teams have scored in 11 of Sassuolo’s 14 Serie A matches this season
  • Napoli have scored in 19 of their last 20 away games in the league
  • Four of the last five meetings between the two teams at this stadium have ended in draws

 

With their last eight matches featuring both teams scoring and 11 of their 14 games in total in the league, it looks a sensible option for the visit of the league leaders.
