Napoli will want to continue asserting their dominance over Emilia-Romagna sides as they visit Sassuolo in Serie A on Sunday.
The Partenopei have gone unbeaten in each of their last 18 from the region. Of those, they have won 15, including each of their last five.
Napoli’s record at Sassuolo started well, but the Neroverdi have proved hard to beat in their recent meetings in Reggio Emilia. After losing their first two home games against the Partenopei in Serie A, Sassuolo have remained unbeaten in the last three – winning one and drawing three.
Domenico Berardi made his Serie A debut against Napoli in September 2013 but the Sassuolo striker is suffering a drought at home and has not scored from open play at the Mapei Stadium since January 2018 against Torino.
Sassuolo:
Napoli: Ospina; Malcuit, Chiriches, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Ounas, Allan, Diawara, Verdi; Insigne, Mertens
