Napoli famously ended their long wait for a Serie A triumph last term, but they will be looking to successfully defend their honor this term. They open their home campaign on Sunday, as they welcome Sassuolo to Naples.
Before Betting On Napoli vs Sassuolo
Napoli exceeded all odds last term to end the campaign as the Serie A champions. However, they will be looking to upset the odds once again this term by successfully defending the prestigious honor. Napoli made a winning start to the season, but they will face a more challenging assignment on Sunday.
But, the Italian giants have dominated their previous encounters against Sassuolo, as they are unbeaten in their last five. Over that period, they have averaged 3.4 goals per game, and they could land four straight wins against their rivals for the first time in history. Napoli has an excellent record over the opening two weekends, as they have won on matchdays one and two in eight of their last 12 campaigns.
Sassuolo will be the first visitors to Naples this weekend, as they look to bounce back after a disappointing start to the season. However, they have won just once in their last 15 against Napoli away from home. Their only win was secured in November 2020.
There would be concern surrounding Sassuolo based on their form at the end of last season. Their opening day defeat means that they have now gone seven without a win. Out of the sides that competed in the top-flight last term, no side is currently on a longer winless run.
Napoli vs Sassuolo Offshore Odds
Napoli look extremely challenging to oppose this weekend, as they have been in excellent recent form. Therefore, we will be siding with the hosts landing a comfortable home win over Sassuolo this weekend.
