This is the 27th round of the Italian Seria A where Sassuolo will be playing host to Napoli at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore. In the last round in Serie A, both Sassuolo and Napoli lost their game respectively. Sassuolo lost on the road to Milan with the scoreline of 1-0, while Napoli did not get better when they were being beaten by the "Old Lady" on their home turf. So coming to this game, Napoli will have the opportunity to bounce back in the Seria A with a victory, especially when playing against a mediocre team like Sassuolo who is playing very badly in recent times. And despite having to play on Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore as a guest, Ancelotti's team are much more appreciated both in terms of rank and current level. Playing with the right strength, the Naples football team will most likely get 3 points, thereby ensuring a safe distance with the team chasing after them and soon forgetting the sadness of defeat at the end of last week.
SASSUOLO
The host Sassuolo are currently in 11th position on the league rankings with 31 points, after having managed to record 7 wins, 10 draws and 9 defeats, since the start of 2018/19 season. Sassuolo can be said to be showing a very poor performance in recent times, they gradually lag behind on the rankings as they have been getting a negative results in their last five previous matches. Welcoming Napoli at home this week with such a mentality will surely make fans worry about their favorite club. The opponent is currently at a much higher level than the team and one more defeat is the inevitable thing. Right now Sassuolo needs to revitalize before it's too late. Everything needs to be changed and of course when the players become more comfortable they can play the football they want.
NAPOLI
The visitors Napoli are currently in the 2nd position with 56 points, and 19 points adrift the league leaders Juventus, who are on the verge of collecting their seventh consecutive Seria A tittles. The bitter defeat against Juventus last week has been left behind by Napoli after they won in a dramatic fashion over Salzburg in the Europa League in the middle of the week. Continuing to flourish, Ancelotti and his players will march to Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore with the only hope of winning all 3 points to build their second place in Serie A this year. The Partenopei second position is currently secured with 8 points above the third place team AC Milan, and with just 12 rounds away till the Seria A season ends. The visitors Napoli are ready to defeat Sassuolo without any pressure or being pressured. And one more thing to be taking into consideration is that the host Sassuolo is always Napoli's favorite prey, in which they have had managed 6 wins, 3 draws and just 1 defeat, in their previous 10 meetings. If they can continue to this run and playing with the right ability, then taking 3 points in this match will only be a matter of time for the Partenopei team.
