Defending champions Napoli will be keen to maintain their momentum in their first home game of the new season against Sassuolo.

The match between the Partenopei and the Neroverdi kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples.

After a brief scare, Napoli cruised to a confident 3-1 win away to Frosinone in their season opener, giving Rudi Garcia a taste of victory in his first competitive match in charge.

Sassuolo struggled to show their best in their clash with Atalanta last week, falling in a late 2-0 loss to Atalanta at home.

Napoli have a fully fit squad and have no absences, whilst the only injury for Sassuolo is forward Agustin Alvarez.   

Last season, Napoli had no trouble in their two clashes with Sassuolo, securing a 4-0 win at home and a 2-0 loss away, performances they’ll be hoping to repeat this evening.
