Napoli to Win
If Napoli are getting nervous, they certainly aren’t showing it and the Partenopei continued their march towards a first title since 1990 when they eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over bottom side Cremonese at the weekend. The runaway Serie A leaders have won six games in the spin in the top flight and having already trounced Sassuolo 4-0 earlier in the campaign, the champions-elect should meet little resistance in the return fixture on Friday. With those factors considered, our first Sassuolo vs Napoli prediction recommends siding with Napoli in the match result market.
Victor Osimhen to Score Anytime
Serie A’s leading scorer Victor Osimhen notched for the sixth top tier game in a row when he double Napoli’s advantage over Cremonese at the weekend and the Nigerian striker can be backed with confidence to add to his ever-growing haul with another effort against Sassuolo on Friday. The 24-year-old plundered a superb hattrick when Napoli beat the same opponents 4-0 earlier in the campaign and Osimhen has the skills to punish the same defence this week.

Sassuolo vs Napoli Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Sassuolo vs Napoli lineups and team news for Friday’s Serie A encounter between Sassuolo and Napoli below.
Sassuolo
Jeremy Toljan has a hamstring issue and will be out of action until later in the month, though Sassuolo don't have any other injury concerns at present. Sassuolo pushed their unbeaten run to four games when they drew 2-2 at Udinese last time out, though a test against Napoli is a far stiffer challenge.
Predicted Lineup for Sassuolo: Consigli – Zortea, Erlic, Ruan, Marchizza – Frattesi, Obiang, Henrique – Berardi, Laurienté, Defrel
Napoli
Napoli's remarkable run of luck in the injury department shows no signs of changing and the Partenopei have another full squad to choose from ahead of Friday's fixture. Head Coach Luciano Spalletti has a plethora of options to choose from, though he isn't likely to veer too much from his favoured XI.
Predicted Lineup for Napoli: Meret – Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Min-Jae, Rui – Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski – Lozano, Kvaratskhelia, Osimhen
Player to Watch – André-Frank Zambo Anguissa
Some of his flashier teammates draw more attention, but midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is enjoying a stellar campaign in the middle of the park for Napoli. The 27-year-old combines silk and steel for the Partenopei and the Cameroonian international rarely puts a foot wrong. Zambo Anguissa should be a central figure for the visitors again on Friday.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
