Sassuolo is seeking a better result after a 2-3 Serie A loss against Empoli. In that match, Sassuolo had 54% possession and 19 attempts at goal, with goals from Andrea Pinamonti and Gian Marco Ferrari. Empoli had 14 shots at goal and 6 on target. Sassuolo has been scored against in six of their previous six games, allowing 15 goals. They have not emerged victorious against SSC Napoli in their previous six league matches and have not won at home in the past two matches.
Napoli lost 1-1 in a Serie A tie with Cagliari, with 71% possession and 9 shots on goal. Victor Osimhen scored the only goal for Napoli. In the previous six games, Napoli has scored a low average of 1.33 goals per game, compared to Partenopei’s 0.67. The team has a good record against Sassuolo, having played them away from home in the previous seven league games. The next game will see whether this trend will continue.
Sasuolo is undergoing a managerial shake-up, with Emiliano Bigica temporarily replacing Alessio Dionisi. Domenico Berardi’s absence and Daniel Boloca’s one-match suspension will impact the squad, while Martin Erlic and Mattia Viti are under scrutiny.
Napoli is in good health, with Cyril Ngonge being the only absentee due to a thigh issue. Victor Osimhen has been a standout player since returning from the African Cup of Nations, scoring twice in Napoli’s last two games.
