Sassuolo - Napoli Prediction, Picks and Tips
Sassulo is generally an uncomfortable team to play, and you want to prove that against SSC Napoli under new coach Gennaro Gattuso. Basically, both teams are close in the table, the 11th receives the 8th and only two points separate the two teams. But the claim is completely different, especially at Naples. After many years in which the Partenopei always played a role in the fight for the title but could never win it, the euphoria was great. Lozano and Manolas came as hope, but the results failed to materialize. This led to Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal, even though Naples was on course in the Champions League. The new trainer is Gennaro Gattuso. This showed good approaches in Milan, but the big breakthrough was missing; he too fell victim to the impatience of those responsible for the Rossoneri. Gattuso now had a little time to get to know the team and give it its first impetus. The coaching effect is often a valid point in the first games, so before the Sassuolo vs Naples game, our prediction is that the guests will win the game.
Under Roberto de Zerbi, Sassuolo generally plays a very good offensive football. And in the offensive area there are some very promising players. Hamed Junior Traore (19) is getting better and better, pulling the strings in the attacking midfield. Domenico Berardi, who was still hunted by top teams years ago, already has eight goals this season, Jeremie Boga also shows what he's made of. In short: Sassuolo can be a lot of fun! If it weren't for the defensive, which is bad compared to the offensive. This is also evident when you look at the table. With 28 goals you make the sixth best offensive in the league, with 27 goals but also the fourth-worst defense. Spectacle is always possible when Sassuolo shows up. In the past few weeks, good and rather average performances at Sassuolo have alternated. The win at Brescia was deserved and important, the draw at Milan was rather a bore. Against Cagliari you would have had to pay more attention to the balance at 2-2, the defeat in Coppa Italia against Perugia was bitter. The 2: 2 at Juventus at the beginning of December was very positive. Here Sassuolo showed himself from his best side, tried to influence the flow of play of the old lady again and again and set pinpricks. That will also be the key against Naples. But how much can the guest be put under pressure, what influence has Gattuso already had on the defensive? Because the Italian is a defensive-thinking coach, it is worth considering a tip before the game between Sassuolo and Naples that both teams will not hit. The 4-2-3-1 of coach de Zerbi worked very well again in the win in Brescia. This time, the defensive was even somewhat stabilized. There were only a few attacks from Brescia and the vote was very good. However, Jeremy Toljan picked up a yellow card, which leads to a ban. His failure is bitter, Mert Müldür is expected to replace him. Otherwise, there is still no offensive player Defrel, who, like Chiriches and Consigli, is not available. Nothing will change in the alignment, further changes are not absolutely necessary. The team is solid and if they act very defensively defensively, they will have a real chance.
The shape curve of Naples only plays a subordinate role due to the dismissal of the coach, but the view of the last few weeks is always exciting. Because it shows that nationally very little converges! The two positive results, the 4: 0 against Genk and the 1: 1 in Liverpool, were brought in internationally. In the domestic Serie A, however, there were only poor results. Defeats against Parma and Bologna, both also in San Paolo at home, are unacceptable. 8th place is therefore not just a snapshot, but the "reward" for the performance this season. More stability through Manolas? No! Lozano more goals? Wrong! But what structural changes can Gattuso make? In recent games it has been noticed that Naples seldom play at zero. This is where Gattuso will start, something almost always evolves forward, the individual class is big enough. In addition, the new trainer now had a few days to work with the team. That's why Sassuolo vs. Naples our prediction that the guests will win the game. Gattuso must and will start at the base, possibly also changing the system. First reports that the Spaniard Fabian Ruiz should become the center of Gattuso's game idea make sense. Because Ruiz is a very forward-looking midfielder who combines defensive and offensive qualities very well. Personally, the situation is nothing to worry about. Maksimovic and Malcuit are missing on the defensive, all other players are available. Above all, Gattuso can draw on offensive resources. And: The cards at Elseid Hysaj, who was sitting on the bench very often, are also shuffled. The right-back could be against Sassuolo in the starting XI.
