Sassuolo have not tasted victory since the 1-0 win versus Fiorentina on January 7. I Neroverdi have lost five of their last six outings. On Saturday, the Watermelon Peel suffered their 15th Serie A defeat of the season versus Empoli despite the fact that Andrea Pinamonti and Gian Marco Ferrari got on the scoresheet. The result proved to be the final nail in the coffin for manager Alessio Dionisi, who was sacked by Sassuolo on Sunday after two-and-a-half years in charge. Youth team coach Emiliano Bigica has been placed in interim charge of the senior side and will hope to make a immediate impact against the reigning champions, who have struggled in the 2023/24 season son far.
Napoli have recorded just ten Serie A wins this season and their last success came versus relegation threatened Hellas Verona earlier this month. After that, Gli Azzurri lost 1-0 to AC Milan, before recording three successive 1-1 draws in all competitions. I Partenopei earned a league point each against the likes of Genoa and Cagliri, either side of a come-from-behind draw with Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. On Sunday, Francesco Calzona’s men were forced to share the spoils with Isolani despite taking the lead through Victor Osimhen’s 65th-minute opener. Napoli will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways on Wednesday, as they have won each of their last four encounters with Sassuolo.
Sassuolo probable starting lineup: Consigli, Toljan, Tressoldi, Ferrari, Doig, Henrique, Boloca, Castillejo, Thorstvedt, Lauriente, Pinamonti
Napoli probable starting lineup: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera, Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski, Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
