2 – Over 2.5 total goals – 1/2

4 – BTTS – Yes – 11/17
5 – Napoli to win 2-1 – 42/25
Napoli still find themselves on the outside edge of Serie A title race ahead of the end of season run-in with four games still to go in 2021-22.
However, Spalletti knows the likelihood is of Milan and Inter squeezing his charges out of the race as they look to keep pace in the Champions League qualification battle alongside Juventus.
A dip in form, at a crucial point in the league season, has undermined their chances, with just one point picked up from their last three league games.
Spalletti goes into this tie with Napoli suffering from their worst run of domestic results this season and he needs a reaction from his players.
However, despite their recent struggles, Carlo Rossi’s visitors in similarly poor form in recent weeks, with three defeats in their last four Serie A games.
Neither team are enjoying a strong end to the campaign, but Napoli still need one more win to seal a top four spot, and that should give them a crucial edge in Naples.
Despite dropping out of the main title race, Napoli have still been involved in high scoring games this month, with five of their last six Serie A games ending with over 2.5 total combined goals scored inside 90 minutes.
Napoli have also netted two or more goals themselves in each of those games, with 12 goals scored in their last seven games, and Sassuolo have scored at least once in seven of their last eight league games.
Both teams look set to end the season in roughly the same position which they go into this game but Napoli’s push to rubber stamp a Champions League place should tip the balance in their favour.
