Sassuolo vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
In the last race before the winter break, Napoli hopes to end a turbulent period with a win. This will not be easy yet, Sassuolo has started to perform better in recent weeks.
Sassuolo:
Sassuolo seems to end a disappointing year positively. Of the twenty games that ended the 2018/2019 season, only three were won, making the club drop considerably in the rankings. Also in the new season it didn’t start too well, of the first seven games, two were won and five lost. The last weeks there is better performance in Modena, in December the team is even undefeated. There was a draw against Juventus, Cagliari and at the 120th birthday party of AC Milan and last weekend a victory was booked at Brescia. The Neroverdi took the lead within half an hour thanks to a hit by the 19-year-old Hamed Traore. The team of Roberto De Zerbi has adopted an offensive playing style in recent weeks. Several good chances came from the home team but ended the game in the 71st minute via top scorer Francesco Caputo who scored five times in the last six games.
For this match, De Zerbi has to miss right back Toljan, who took his fifth yellow card of the season last week. Goalkeeper Consigli is still injured, but his 38-year-old substitute Pegolo has already held the zero for two games in a row.
Napoli:
This season is forgoing the crazy footballers of Naples. Napoli is currently ninth in the Serie A and has not won eight league games in a row. For weeks, the players’ group and their coach Carlo Ancelotti were directly opposite President De Laurentiis and the hard core. Ancelotti was fired two weeks ago, after the only win in seven weeks (4-0 against Genk).
Genaro Gattuso was appointed as his replacement and immediately made himself heard at the press conference, he stated that it is shameful where Napoli is currently on the list and has everything to finish in the top four. In the first game under the leadership of the former AC Milan player that was not yet visible, Napoli went down in his own home with 1-2 against Parma. It seemed to end in a draw until Parma put in a counter-injury time, which was rounded off by Gervinho. Milik is the only one who currently seems to be evading misery. He made his sixth of the season while he was only seven times in action due to an injury, and he also made a hat trick against Genk.
