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.
Whereas, Sassuolo were equally good at the beginning of this season, they managed to collect 13 points from the 7 matches that have taken place and are currently ranked 5th in the standings. In their last five matches, Sassuolo recorded 3 wins and lost just twice.
