The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Sassuolo lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
Napoli vs Sassuolo Preview
Sassuolo are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Neroverdi slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atalanta in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Napoli, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive over the past year. The Neapolitan outfit eased past Frosinone by a comfortable 3-1 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
