Sassuolo vs Atalanta Prediction: Serie A Match on 20.08.2023

Serie A Preview

Mourinho will be looking to finally follow through on his target at Roma this term, as the Portuguese coach is yet to achieve a Champions League finish since arriving at the Italian club. It’s likely that the coach will be given one final opportunity this term after narrowly missing out on a spot in the competition after falling to defeat in the Europa League final against Sevilla at the end of last season. In the league, Roma finished sixth in the standings following a disappointing end to the campaign. Mourinho has been backed financially this summer with the arrivals of Evan Ndicka, Houssem Aouar, and Leandro Paredes. However, those signings will quickly need to gel in order for Roma to stand a leading chance of securing a top four finish. [news_button][/news_button] Salernitana were one of a number of sides that had very little to play for over the final weeks of the season last term, as their survival was ensured with over a month of the campaign remaining. Ultimately, they finished eleven points above the drop zone, and they will need to start the new campaign quickly to ensure that they stand the best chance of finishing as near to the top half of the standings as possible. An interesting trend to consider this weekend is the fact that Salernitana have never previously drawn a match on the opening day of the season. They won their first matchday one clash in Serie A against Lazio in 1947, before suffering three defeats on the bounce in recent years.

Roma vs Salernitana Head to Head

Interestingly, this was the opening match for both sides last term. On that occasion, Roma landed a 1-0 win. Roma are unbeaten in home Serie A matches against Salernitana, winning each of the last three. They have also recorded six wins in eight top-flight meetings between the sides.

Roma vs Salernitana Prediction

This promises to be a huge season for Roma. We expect the Italian side to lay down a huge claim to finish in the top four this term, beginning with a comfortable win over Salernitana on matchday one.

Serie A Preview

Napoli ended the 2022-23 season as the comprehensive champions in Serie A, as they won their first title since 1990. They will be looking to retain their title this term, but they could face a challenge with improved Inter Milan, Juventus, and Roma sides among their most likely rivals. Napoli started the season excellently last term, and that was ultimately the difference that gave them a huge advantage as the season progressed.

Their big plus this summer is the fact that they have been able to keep hold of Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker was the top scorer in the division last term, netted an impressive 26 goals. Rudi Garcia is the new man in the dug out this term, and the club have added quality in the forms of Natan, Elian Caprile, and Giacomo Raspadoria. However, they have won just three of their six pre-season matches.

Frosinone is one of the welcome additions to Serie A this term, as they will be competing in the Italian top-flight for the first time since 2015-16. Their promotion was assured following a 3-1 win over Crotone in May, and there have been wild celebrations across the city in preparation for this opening showdown against the Italian champions.

Frosinone finished top of the Serie B standings last term, as they won 24 of their 28 league matches. Overall, they suffered just six defeats, and were the highest scorers in the division. Meanwhile, no side in the second tier boasted a better defensive record than Frosinone.

Frosinone vs Napoli Head to Head

This will be the tenth time that these two sides have clashed, with Napoli having recorded seven wins. Frosinone are yet to register a win against Napoli, as the remaining two matches have ended in draws. Overall, Napoli have scored a stunning 25 goals across nine matches in all competitions, and they have allowed just six.

Frosinone vs Napoli Prediction

Napoli look extremely challenging to oppose in their opening match in Serie A. We expect the reigning champions to start their new season with a commanding win over Frosinone.
