Napoli vs Sassuolo Betting Tips

The combination of results last weekend moved Napoli to the top of the Serie A table. They can hardly take a moment to breathe though, Juventus are just two points behind in second place, and perhaps more significantly, they are on a remarkable 10-game winning streak.

Napoli are unbeaten in their last four games and they’ve won three straight matches. They’ve got an impressive array of attacking options and they’re completely unafraid of giving it a real go in any game. They’re the leading goal-scorers in Serie A with 38 goals in 19 games.

On Saturday, they’ll face a Sassuolo who have conceded just 17 times in 18 games. They’re in the top six and they’ve proven themselves to be an extremely tough nut to crack. In their most recent contest they beat Inter Milan at their own game, sneaking a 1-0 win in a tightly-played and somewhat uninspiring 90 minutes of football.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Sassuolo defensive determination

This won’t be an easy or comfortable game for Napoli to play, they are going to be harassed and confronted by a defensive unit that hasn’t broken against any opponent so far this season.

2. Top of the table pressure?

Somehow no team has played its best football in the Serie A this season when on top of the table, including Napoli when they previously held top spot. We’re not convinced that Napoli will turn in their best performance of the season on Saturday.

3. +2.0 Asian Handicap is a lot

There’s a significant margin for Napoli to beat Sassuolo by and considering their position in the table and how these two teams have generally played, we’ll take our chances on Sassuolo covering a two-goal Asian Handicap.
