Sassuolo – Napoli: Kvaratskhelia And Osimhen Whip Up A Storm To Blow Sassuolo Away (0-2)

Runaway league leaders Napoli visited Sassuolo as they sought to extend their winning run. They did just that, as goals from their dynamic and deadly attacking duo sealed the win. Sassuolo seemed to have a plan to stop them initially, but it all unraveled quite quickly.

Tactical analysis and match report by Neel Shelat.

Having caught the eye in the last couple of seasons, Sassuolo were extremely disappointing in the first half of the 2022/23 campaign. At the midway point, they had fewer points than matches played and were firmly in the bottom half of the table. They have seemingly turned a page in the last month having heavily beaten Milan and gotten the better of Atalanta, but they should not have expected much from this fixture.

Napoli’s season so far needs no introduction. They have been transformed into a very exciting side playing free-flowing football featuring some supremely talented players, and all of that has been reflected very well on the league table. They went into this fixture with seven wins on the bounce in the league - a run they would have been expected to continue.
