Central to their success has been the attacking trident of Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon who have scored sixteen times between them in the league. Defensively they have also been sound, conceding just seven times in Italy’s top division. Only Roma have conceded fewer goals and that solidity at the back is worth remembering in our Napoli vs Sassuolo betting tips. The club from Naples did concede two in mid-week at Genoa, but emerged as victors at the final whistle, eventually winning 3-2.
Only bottom of the table Benevento have scored fewer goals than toothless Sassuolo since August. The Nerverdi have hit the net just five times in ten, average 0.5 goals per ninety minutes of play. Coach Cristian Bucchi has the history books stacked against him too, his club have beaten the Partenopei just once in eight previous meetings.

Napoli vs Sassuolo Prediction and Betting Advice
With little value to be found in backing the outright home win in today’s Napoli vs Sassuolo bets, we have combined selections to push the odds to a more favourable position. The club from Naples have been beaten just once in nineteen Serie A contests at the Stadio San Paolo. Their home ground has become one of the most difficult places to win in Europe in recent years.
Eight of their ten league fixtures this season have ended with over 2.5 goals scored. Their games have averaged just under three goals all told – Sarri’s setup usually comes with a guarantee of goals and with their adversary on Sunday looking low on confidence and short on quality, we should see plenty more penalty area action. Coral’s odds provide potential bettors with the most valuable odds for our first betting pick for this clash.
Belgian striker Dries Mertens had been going through a dry spell of sorts in the weeks preceding today’s Napoli vs Sassuolo predictions. The diminutive forward had been scoring plenty in the opening months of the season before going five matches without a goal up until mid-week. Against Genoa, however, Mertens got his season back on track by netting two fine goals.
Those goals will provide just the boost he needs to kick on and restore his usually consistent goal rate. The former PSV attacker struck twenty-eight goals in a highly prolific campaign in 2016/17, and with Sarri’s side expected to enjoy near total domination over the Neroverdi this weekend, Mertens has a wonderful chance to increase his numbers for the season. William Hill have some outstanding odds in the anytime goalscorer markets, making them the perfect bookmakers for the last of today’s Italian football tips.
