This season is turning out to be an awful one for Sassuolo. If they were solid mid-standings players in Serie A in previous years, and their game was incredibly entertaining to watch as they played open and amusing football, now we see nothing. In the championship debut, they tried to maintain the same level of play, but with each new month, they got worse. In the last six rounds, they allowed five defeats with a total score of 4:14, and the only point they scored in the battle with Torino - 1:1. Such poor results leave Sassuolo in 17th place in the standings, with the relegation zone just around the corner.

This season has also been very difficult for Napoli. Aurelio De Laurentiis could not agree on a contract extension with Luciano Spalletti in the summer, leading to a team coaching change. Rudi Garcia was sacked because of his poor performances, and Walter Mazzarri could not get through to the players. Francesco Calzona is attempting to lead them out of the crisis. So far, he is not distinguished by the diversity of results. In the first match of the last 16 of the Champions League, his wards played a draw with Barcelona - 1:1, and then in the game of the 26th round of Serie A, they shared points with Cagliari - 1:1, remaining in ninth place in the standings.

Napoli has performed poorly this season, becoming a mid-standing Serie A. The Neapolitans at least feel comfortable fighting for survival. At the same time, Sassuolo is 17th in the standings, with the same 20 points as Verona and Cagliari, who are in the relegation zone. At the same time, Sassuolo is in terrible shape, as evidenced by one point in the last six rounds. In addition, Napoli left behind four consecutive personal meetings, so now they are the favorites of the confrontation. 

Recently, Napoli has beaten Sassuolo constantly and is also great at attacking. In nine previous matches, the Neapolitans have sent 23 goals (an average of 2.56 per game) to the opponents - an impressive figure for such a long distance. Furthermore, in the last six friendlies, the rivals have combined to score 25 goals (4.17 average per game), which still bodes well for a high-scoring affair.
