In the rescheduled match of the 21st round of Serie A, Sassuolo will host Napoli at home. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Sassuolo
For the first time in a long while, Sassuolo finds itself a real contender for relegation from Serie A. The Neroverdi have gathered only 20 points in 25 matches, currently occupying the 17th position. Sassuolo's safety from the relegation zone is only secured by a better goal difference compared to Verona and Cagliari, who have the same number of points. On Saturday, Sassuolo suffered a defeat against Empoli, marking the end of Alessio Dionisi's tenure as the head coach. Emiliano Bigica, in charge of the club's youth team, will guide the team against Napoli.
Napoli
Napoli can confidently be labeled as the underachieving champion of Italy in recent years. The Neapolitans hold only the ninth position, and last week, for the second time this season, they changed their head coach – replacing Walter Mazzarri with the current coach of the Slovakian national team, Francesco Colzona. Under the new coach, Napoli drew 1-1 against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, and over the weekend, they missed a victory against the modest Cagliari.
Interesting facts about the match and the head-to-head history
- In the second round of the current season, Napoli defeated Sassuolo 2-0.
- Napoli has won the last four consecutive matches against Sassuolo.
- Out of 22 matches in the history between these teams, Sassuolo has won only twice.
Sassuolo vs Napoli prediction
Predicting the winner in a match between two crisis-ridden teams with new coaches is extremely challenging. Therefore, I am betting that in this match, we will witness a goal from Napoli's top striker, Victor Osimhen.
