Sassuolo vs Napoli Prediction & Tips
Sassuolo returns to the elite with high ambitions after winning Serie B under Fabio Grosso. The club has retained its key players, including top scorer Armand Laurienté, and has already started the season with a victory in the Italian Cup.
At home, the Neroverdi were virtually unbeatable last season, winning 14 of 19 matches. However, starting against the champions is a tough test and, despite their motivation, the difference in quality remains considerable.
Napoli begin their title defence after a dramatic victory last season, secured on the final day. Antonio Conte has retained the backbone of the team and now has new leaders in Kevin De Bruyne and Lorenzo Lucca.
Despite Romelu Lukaku’s injury, the squad looks balanced, and the preseason ended with three consecutive wins. Napoli arrives in Reggio Emilia with the clear intention of securing three points and starting the campaign with a victory, just as they did in their last encounter against Sassuolo (6-1).
