Napoli will on Wednesday travel to Stadio Citta del Tricolore to go one-on-one against the hosts Sassuolo in a Serie A clash scheduled to kick off at 17:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Sassuolo’s Poor Relegation Form in Serie A
Sassuolo have won just five matches this season, alongside 5 draws, and lost 15 times. They have amassed just 20 points, placing them 17th on the Serie A table, level on points with Verona in 18th.
Sassuolo needs to start winning to ensure that they do not drop into the relegation zone. In their last five matches, they have drawn once and lost four times. The one point they have collected out of the available 15 has seen them struggle to turn their form around.
The home clash against Napoli will be an opportunity for Sassuolo to make a statement-win to shift their confidence as they battle to avoid relegation.
