Napoli vs Sassuolo PREVIEW & PREDICTION 07/10/2018

On Sunday, at 17:00, Napoli will receive Sassuolo’s visit in a match for the 8th round in Serie A. The match will take place at the “San Paolo” stadium in Naples.

“Nursing” breathes in UCL, but moves away from the title.

With renowned Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of the team, Napoli has largely achieved positive results this season, especially on his own. Napoleans gave the best of San Paolo both in the championship and in the UEFA Champions League, where they retain their chances of qualifying in the best of the week thanks to the huge success of the weekend in front of Liverpool (1-0) . However, although it ranks second in Serie A, Ancelotti’s team has fewer hopes of breaking Juventus’ hegemony. The direct match took place just one week ago in Torino, and the “Old Ladder” victory, score 3-1, marks a six-point difference in the hierarchy between the two groups. Currently, Napoli has a hard game in front. Sassuolo was only two points behind the “Azzurri” thanks to an excellent start of the season, which impressed especially on the offensive. Even so, we find a common feature for the two combatants: Both teams enroll and receive goals at discretion. Indeed, the defensive systems of the two bands are still desirable, and this is one of the main reasons why we anticipate at least three goals in the match Sunday night on “San Paolo”.

In the last ten clashes between the two bands, Napoli was imposed five times, Sassuolo only once, while the other four disputes ended in a tie;

The previous six straight games ended with goals on both sides;

The last direct play took place in last season’s return when the two bands drew at Reggio Emilia, score 1-1;

Probable teams:

Napoli (4-4-2): Ospina- Malcuit, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Hysaj- F. Ruiz, Diawara, Zielinski, Verdi-Mertens, Insigne

Sassuolo (3-4-3): Consigli- Marlon, Magnani, Ferrari-Lirola, Bourabia, Magnanelli, Rogerio-Berardi, Boateng, Di Francesco

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Considering the overflowing appetite of the two groups and their defensive defenses, we think we should easily see at least three goals in this dispute.


PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.43
