Sassuolo vs Napoli Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 28/02/2024, 03:45  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Sassuolo will look to climb out of the relegation zone as they come up against struggling defending champions Napoli. This Serie A match will be played at the Stadio Città del Tricolore on Wednesday, with both teams desperate for a win. The hosts are 18th after the weekend games, with 20 points from 25 matches, while the visitors are 9th, with 37 points from the same number of games. Sassuolo are stuck in a tight battle to avoid relegation as teams from 15th to 19th are separated by just three points after Sunday’s games. That said, they haven’t done themselves any favors, winning just a point in their last six league games. That included a 3-2 loss to Empoli in their last match. That defeat came at this venue, making it just one win for the home team in their last nine league games.

Napoli are four points behind Roma after Sunday’s games, and that could increase as the Romans play Torino on Monday. With their season looking doomed, the defending champions would be desperate to stay at least in the European qualification race. A 1-1 draw with Cagliari last time out didn’t help things out, making it just a win across five league games. Three of those were draws, highlighting their inability to close out games. The return of ace striker Victor Osimhen is the lone positive for the visitors lately, with their scoring record needing a push from the 34 goals they scored. That would be at the top of their to-do list, as Napoli has struggled for results on the road. They are without a win across their last six away league games, drawing two and losing four.
