Napoli haven't had the best news coming through after the confirmation of Romelu Lukaku’s injury. While the Belgian goes down with a thigh injury, the Italian champions start their title defence with an away match against Sassuolo. Read on for our preview and prediction.
On their return to Serie A, Sassuolo would have wanted an easier welcome but they don’t get to choose. At least they will be at home, where they did superbly in Serie B last season, winning 44 points from a possible 57.
The hosts have bolstered defensively and in this, and such matches, they will need the defenders to earn their pay. A concern though, is that in their last five season openers, Sassuolo won once and lost four.
Napoli have seven wins in the last eight opening day fixtures. The one they didn’t win happened to be last season and they’ll hope for an improvement. They start their charge for a fourth league title, hoping they can conjure up another good season on the road.
In their run up to winning the championship last season, Napoli lost only two of their 19 away matches, claiming 37 points on the road.
With their solidity in defence, Napoli having managed 19 clean sheets last season, the focus this transfer has been on attacking players. They come here having lost just twice in 20 matches against Sassuolo.

Our Sassuolo vs Napoli Prediction
Sassuolo will head into this match as outright underdogs, and it will be a massive shock if they avoid defeat. This will be a tough reintroduction to the league for them. They face the champions, who unlike last season, are enjoying much calmer periods ahead of the league kickoff.
Last year at such a time the club was in shambles as Antonio Conte struggled with incoming and outbound transfers. Things are better now and, in their shape, they should be going for a win. Our prediction for Sassuolo v Napoli is that Napoli wins the match.
