Serie A
As of now, Sassuolo and Napoli have faced each other in 22 matches. Sassuolo has won 2 games, while Napoli has emerged victorious 13 times. The teams have played to a draw in 7 matches.
Sassuolo
For Sassuolo, the current season is turning out to be dreadful. If in previous years the “black-green” team was a solid mid-table presence in Serie A, showcasing open and entertaining football, now we see nothing of the sort. In the early stages of the championship, they tried to maintain their previous level of play, but with each passing month, their performance deteriorated. In the last six rounds, they suffered five defeats with an overall score of 4-14, earning only a point in a battle with Torino – 1:1. Such weak results leave Sassuolo in 17th place in the standings, with the relegation zone in close proximity.
Napoli
For Napoli, the current season is also proving to be very challenging. In the summer, Aurelio De Laurentiis failed to reach an agreement with Luciano Spalletti on a contract extension, leading to a coaching carousel in the club. Rudy Garcia quickly took the helm but was fired, Walter Mazzarri failed to connect with the players and was also dismissed. Now, Francesco Calzona is attempting to lead the “sky-blue” team out of the crisis, with varied results. In the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, his team drew with Barcelona – 1:1, and in the 26th Serie A match, they shared points with Cagliari – 1:1, remaining in ninth place in the standings.
Prediction
In the current season, Napoli has been performing poorly, turning into a mid-table team in Serie A. However, the Neapolitans at least feel comfortable in terms of the survival battle, while Sassuolo is positioned in 17th place in the standings, with the same 20 points as Verona and Cagliari in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Sassuolo is currently in terrible form, evident from earning only one point in the last six rounds. Additionally, Napoli has won four consecutive head-to-head meetings, making them the favorites in the upcoming clash. Betting on Napoli's victory can be done with odds around 1.85. Napoli not only consistently defeats Sassuolo but also excels in the attack. In the last nine head-to-head encounters, Napoli scored 23 goals against Sassuolo (an average of 2.56 goals per game), an impressive statistic over an extended period. Moreover, in the last six matchups, the teams collectively scored 25 goals (an average of 4.17 goals per game), indicating a high likelihood of goal-scoring activity. Considering this, the optimal prediction would be a total of over 2.5 goals with odds around , and a separate bet on Napoli's individual total of over 1.5 goals with odds around .
