Prediction: 3-2
Sassuolo
Following a come-from-behind win over Frosinone, Napoli will look to climb to top position in the standings when they take on Sassuolo at their Stadio San Paolo on Matchday 2. The reigning champions started their title defence in fashion and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Sassuolo. Even though Georgia ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains on the sidelines with injuries, we believe that Victor Osimhen, who scored a brace at the weekend, will make life difficult for the opposition back-line.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, produced a poor display in a 2-0 loss to Atalanta, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the title holders. To make things even worse for the visiting side, defender Ruan is banned for the match, while midfielder Agustin Alvarez misses the trip to Naples with an ACL injury.
