Napoli vs Sassuolo Predictions

• Napoli have lost only two of their last 22 home games in Serie A
• Only Lazio (21) and Juventus (20) kept more clean sheets in Serie A than Napoli (18) last season
• Sassuolo won only four times on the road in the league last campaign

Sassuolo could struggle for goals again

Sassuolo tried to overhaul their attack this summer with the additions of forwards Andrea Pinamonti and Samuele Mulattieri from Inter but they failed to find a way through last Sunday, losing 2-0 at home to Atalanta.

And a similar result could await them when they visit defending Italian champions Napoli this weekend.

After losing some key players, Sassuolo had to settle for 13th spot in Serie A last term and they claimed maximum points on the road on only four occasions.

Partenopei primed to take maximum points

They lost the corresponding fixture to Napoli 4-0 last October and could again be out of their depth against the Partenopei.

Napoli lost defender Kim Min-Jae to Bayern Munich this summer but Juan looks a decent replacement alongside Amir Rrahmani and they looked pretty comfortable in their 3-1 win over Frosinone last time out.

No side picked up more points at home in Serie A than Napoli (45) last season and they conceded only 15 goals in their 19 matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

A win to nil for the home side looks a wise bet but at this early stage of the season, do not expect the club from Naples to completely blow away their opponents with 2-0 a decent correct score prediction.
