Napoli form and stats

The complete Serie A stats at home this season for Napoli are 9-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Napoli are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Empoli. Did Napoli get overconfident in their match against Empoli? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Midfielder Lozano was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.62 (out of ten) in that game. Lozano served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Sassuolo form and stats

6 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Sassuolo playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. Sassuolo seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Sassuolo failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Juventus (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Midfielder Raspadori was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Raspadori scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 55 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cagliari wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Sassuolo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 33 times in 17 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sassuolo's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.
