Neroverdi has already started the new season. The team hosted Catanzaro in the Italian Cup and scored a minimal victory. 1:0 – Scottish defender Josh Doig scored the only goal in the 32nd minute.

Sassuolo returned to the elite division in exactly one year. Last season, the Black and Green won the Serie B quite confidently, scoring 82 points in 34 rounds, and ahead of the second line by six points.

Napoli: form and statistics

The Neapolitans have seven friendly matches ahead of the start of the season. Of the meetings with high-status rivals, we note the defeat of Brest (1:2), as well as victories over Girona (3:2) and Olympiacos (2:1).

Last season, the team took advantage of the fact that they did not compete in European competitions, threw all their strength into the national championship and won the championship title, which was the second for Napoli in the last three years.

The main news in recent days has been Romelu Lukaku's injury. The Belgian has been out for several months, and Napoli has urgently started looking for a new striker. Possible candidates include Rasmus Heilund and Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United, and Jamie Vardy, who is currently a free agent.

Sassuolo vs Napoli match prediction 23 August 2025

Napoli enters the season as the main contender for the championship title. We believe that Antonio Conte's team will confirm their ambitions in the first game. We are betting on the Neapolitans, although at the same time we do not believe that the meeting will be productive. First of all, Napoli need to get used to the absence of Lukaku. Secondly, Sassuolo, under the leadership of Fabio Grosso, has become a predominantly low-scoring team.
