Sassuolo vs Napoli 17.02.2023

Given that Sassuolo look to be floundering in the middle of the Serie A standings, one might predict an easy win for Napoli however, Sassuolo have proved they are more than capable of rising up to the big sides by scoring against the top four teams in the league. With a surprise 2-5 victory against title-chasing AC Milan in their most recent encounter, Sassuolo demonstrated the deadly edge they possess. They will have a 100% scoring rate this season against the top five teams in Serie A if they score here.

After winning 5 straight games against Cremonese, Spezia, Roma, and Salernitana, the visiting manager Luciano Spalletti will be entering the game in a positive frame of mind. With three straight clean sheets when playing as visitors, they have been perfect defensively in away games.

Even though Sassuolo frequently scores against competition of this caliber, they seldom win such games. Notably, Sassuolo only prevailed in one of their four matches against Roma, Atalanta, Inter, and ultimately AC Milan, all of which were lost by the identical score of 2-1. We can expect Napoli to have the edge on this one.
