Competition: Serie A
Market: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport
Simply looking to widen their buffer at the top of the Serie A table on Friday night, Napoli will make the trip to Sassuolo for what could be a lively affair.
Starting with the hosts, while Sassuolo might have marked their return from the World Cup break in the midst of an extended Serie A nightmare, they have certainly come roaring back in some style. Despite being last seen having to eventually settle for an action-packed 2-2 draw away at Udinese, Alessio Dionisi’s side should find the mood in their camp at a recent high. Unbeaten in each of their previous four straight domestic showdowns, the Greens have also skyrocketed their way from a looming relegation scrap. Shocking almost everyone across Italy on January 29th as they stormed their way to a famous 5-2 romp away at defending champions AC Milan, Sassuolo have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. In fact, Saturday’s hosts have seen their last four Serie A contests produce 14 goals.
As for the visitors, putting in another stellar display last weekend as they breezed their way to a 3-0 romp at home against Cremonese, Napoli are cruising towards Serie A history. Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding a remarkable 15-point buffer over the chasing pack, Luciano Spalletti’s side have only continued to gain a string of plaudits from across Europe. With some even tipping the Azzurri as a Champions League dark horse in 2023, the former Inter Milan boss will simpy be calling on his side to lay down another marker here. Suffering just a single top-flight defeat this season, Napoli have also gained a reputation for their free-scoring displays in the final third. Along with bagging back-to-back 3-0 victories, it should be noted that Spalletti’s men have seen five of their previous six domestic contests finish with over 2.5 goals.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals at Sassuolo vs Napoli 7/10 for Friday’s Serie A showdown @ 888sport
