Napoli
Sassuolo
  • Maurizio Sarri may look ahead to their meeting with Manchester City next week but Napoli have a real chance to win Serie A this season and may opt against rotating here.
  • The plan will be to win the match as early as possible and then bring players off as early as possible.
  • Paolo Cannavaro and Domenico Berardi's physical conditions will have to be evaluated right before the game to decide if they are fit enough to play.
  • Antonino Ragusa and Marcello Gazzola are standing by in case their team mates need replacing.

Prediction

  • A shock was on the cards when Napoli went behind early against Genoa in midweek, but they were bailed out by Dries Mertens' second hat-trick of the season and moved back to first in Serie A.
  • Sassuolo, on the contrary, lost at home to Udinese in midweek and morale will have taken a hit as a result. They are only two points above the bottom three and now in real danger of being sucked into a relegation battle.
  • Sealing victory as quickly as possible will be the order of the day for Napoli, who will want to rest their best players ahead of their match with Manchester City next week. Even if Sassuolo set out to frustrate the hosts, they should not have enough to keep out Napoli's attack.

    Napoli should solve the issues with the Champions League, and therefore will not be carried into the guests' chips, so the match will have less than 3.5 goals with a victory for the hosts
