Sassuolo vs Napoli prediction and betting tips on February 28, 2024
Game Prediction
The new week will pass without the European competitions. And this is a niche that is readily used in various countries to conduct something of their own. As a rule, the midweek games will be played in a cup format. Still, Italy will hold the matches that were scheduled for the 21st round. For instance, Sassuolo and Napoli will compete against each other. Both opponents need to correct the situation – who will succeed? The analytical department of the website has prepared a prediction for the confrontation on February 28, 2024.
Sassuolo has reached a full-fledged fight for survival
“The Black and Greens” can be considered a young project if we mention the top-level of Italian football. At the same time, they managed to achieve access to the Europa League. De Zerbi almost returned to that level. It’s “almost”, because Roberto quit after finishing in 8th place. Maybe Dionisi, who had been chosen as his successor, was the optimal candidate at that time. Still, this is not the first year under his leadership that positions have been lost, and the team finished at least in 13th place if in the spring of 2023, now the fight for survival is in full swing. In this regard, the previous round and the match with Empoli were important. And the club lost – 2-3.
Napoli bears little resemblance to the brilliant champion of the previous cycle
“The Parthenopeans” surprised everyone a year ago. Then the renewed team, from which no special feats were expected, took the first Scudetto since the time of Maradona. Still, now Khvicha and the company resemble a pale shadow of themselves. However, there were enough problems already in the spring and the team got to the championship title by inertia. Spalletti, realizing that he had squeezed out everything possible, left the club. Neither Rudi Garcia nor Mazzarri showed anything special after him. And the management appointed the third coach, Calzona, in less than a full season, before the Champions League play-offs. The mentor made his debut in the battle against Barcelona – that game brought a 1-1 draw. And there was a voyage to Sardinia, to Cagliari, on Sunday. A missed goal in the 90th+ minute of the game levelled the match again.
