Soccer Prediction for 8 October 2018 – Napoli vs Sassuolo
A dramatic victory over Liverpool was a relief for Napoli, but they should not be carried away in euphoria, because this weekend Carlo Ancelotti’s team will be faced with a difficult opponent in the Italian Serie A follow-up. The Partenopei will face Sassuolo, and their match is planned to take place on the early Monday morning, October 8, 2018 at Stadio San Paolo Naples.
Napoli actually made a good start to the beginning of this season, with 15 points they have collected from 7 matches that have taken place. Napoli are still less good than the defending champions, Juventus, who have collected 7 consecutive wins and are now at the top of the standings with a 6-points lead. Playing on home turf, Napoli seems to be more favored to win in the next match.
