On Wednesday, 28 February, the Mapaei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore will host a match between the teams that will try to end their winless streaks in the Italian league. The hosts have not scored three points in six matches in a row, while the visitors are trying to avoid a fourth game in a row without a win.
Sassuolo
After 25 matches, Sassuolo is in 17th place with 20 points. The club lost its last Serie A match at home to Empoli 3-2, so the winless streak has lasted for six matches.
In the previous Serie A match between these teams in August at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli won 2-0. Victor Osimhen opened the scoring for the Partenopei in the 16th minute from the penalty spot. Giovanni Di Lorenzo also scored.
Andrea Pinamonti and Domenico Berardi have attracted attention to Sassuolo this season. The duo are the team’s top scorers with nine goals apiece. Pinamonti scored the first goal five times, which set the tone for the match.
Sassuolo have not been performing well on their home pitch this season. The team has three wins, three draws and six defeats in 12 Serie A matches.
In the last six league matches, Sassuolo drew one and lost five.
Napoli
Napoli have been consistently beating Sassuolo lately. The Neapolitans are looking to win the first league victory in the head-to-head meetings between these clubs since November 2020.
When it comes to the players who scored in the 2023/2024 season, the leading players in Napoli’s attack were Ozil, Cyril Ngonge and Hvicha Kvaratskhelia, who scored eight, seven and six times respectively.
Napoli have won twice, drawn three times and lost once out of their last six matches. The team has five wins, four draws and four defeats away from home in league matches this season.
Sassuolo vs Napoli match prediction
Obviously, when choosing a bet, you should choose the away side. The team from Naples should still take points, but it is far from certain that it will be a victory.
Both teams to score – under 2.1
Earlier, AC Milan played against PSG in the Champions League.
