Napoli will continue their quest for the Scudetto on Friday when they visit Mapei Stadium to face Sassuolo.
The hosts overcame conceding the fastest goal in Serie A goal of the season (25 seconds) to record a 2-2 draw with Udinese last time out. The draw stretched their unbeaten run to four matches (W2, D2), their joint-longest unbeaten run this term.
The goal will be to extend that run in this game. However, doing that against runaway league leaders Napoli will be a challenging task considering that they’ve won just one of the last 15 competitive H2Hs (D6, L8), which includes two heavy defeats by a combined 10-1 scoreline across the previous two such meetings.

Napoli will be confident of getting another win here–their seventh consecutive Serie A win. The league leaders extended their lead at the top of the Serie A table to 15 points thanks to a 3-0 win over Cremenose last time.
They have now secured 59 points after 22 rounds, a record which has only been bettered in the three points for a win era by Juventus and Inter Milan, who had 60 points at this stage.
The visitors have won each of their eight Serie A matches against sides currently sitting 15th or below. Seven of those victories came by two or more goals, and having scored 2+ goals in each of their last six league games, the correct score prediction for this game will be a Napoli win with over 2.5 goals scored.
