Napoli had a last gasp win over Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek. They return to Serie A action and know after losing at Juventus in their latest game, they can't afford any slip-ups at home to Sassuolo. Despite taking an early lead at Juventus they went down 3-1 and now trail the defending champions by six points. Napoli also lost 3-0 at Sampdoria earlier in the season and their away form is endangering their chances of winning the title. It's a different story at home where Napoli have a 100% league record winning all three games, scoring seven goals and conceding just twice. They are unbeaten in their last eight home league matches with only two losses in the last 27 and one of those was to Juventus. 

Sassuolo have made a confident start to the season and are fifth in the table just two points behind their opponents. Just like Napoli they also lost their last league game going down 4-1 at home to Milan. They began their season with a three game unbeaten run before losing 2-1 at Juventus thanks to two goals from Ronaldo. They bounced back with wins over Empoli and SPAL before that heavy loss to Milan. Five league visits to Napoli have only seen Sassuolo earn two points and the tip here is for Napoli to get a home win.
