Sassuolo vs. Napoli Picks
Sassuolo are a bipolar team and one that you can never really know what to expect. Despite this, their record against the current Serie A holders is nothing short of abysmal.
This fact, combined with the fact that Napoli have only strengthened since winning the title last season, leaves only one winner in this game and that is the team from Naples.
Additional markets include Romelu Lukaku to score two or more goals, Kevin De Bruyne to get two or more assists and Scott McTominay to score from set piece.
