Sassuolo take on the visitors Napoli in the round 23 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, February 17th at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia).
Sassuolo periodically aim for serious targets. Although this is a fairly young project, it already has experience playing in the group stage of the Europa League. De Zerbi also seriously claimed to repeat such an experience, but still the club could not rise above the 8th position with him. Tired of fighting against the “ceiling of opportunities”, Roberto moved to Shakhtar Donetsk (and now he is doing great at Brighton). In addition, leading players are constantly leaving - even now Frattesi is allegedly preparing to move to Juventus. It is not surprising that under the current mentor, Dionisi, the “nonverdi” stay outside the top 10 at all. This season, after a relatively good start, since October, there has been a sharp decline, with 4 points in 10 rounds. And only in the middle of winter, something began to improve. First, they drew a meeting with a daring debutant, Monza, and then won against such historical giants as Milan (it was 5-2 at all) and Atalanta. The piggy bank was also replenished in the duel with Udinese - Sassuolo equalized the score twice and ended up in a draw.

Napoli under Luciano Spalletti were finally able to regain the lost level - after a couple of years they returned to the “League Champion” quartet, even climbed to 3rd place. And then for a long time it turned out to be on an equal footing with Milan and Inter, but the team was not enough for a full season. And in the summer, many top players, for various reasons, left Naples. Nevertheless, the coaching staff and the scouts did an excellent job, and it is not surprising that the current Napoli symbolizes not only Osimkhen, but also Kvaratskhelia, one of the many newcomers with whom they hit the top ten. The club not only did not lose ground, on the contrary, it is seriously improving. It is not for nothing that the “San Paolo” are talking louder and louder about the “Scudetto”, which has not been since the time of Maradona – their favorites play beautifully. They won the lion's share of the fights, breaking away from Inter and other pursuers. By the way, only “black and blue” lost on the domestic arena, except for a sensation in the form of a cup defeat with “Cremonese”. They also played with him in the last round. But it is worth remembering that ahead is the start of the playoffs of the Champions League. How will the line-up be built before the trip to Eintracht, to Frankfurt?
Last year, Napoli was able to win both head-to-head matches with a devastating total score, 10-1 on aggregate. The club from Naples is now head and shoulders above all the others. Yes, the Champions League is ahead, and Spalletti will also take this into account. We recommend betting that in this match the visitors will win with a handicap of “-1 goal scored”.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.0 handicap.
