We said: Napoli 2-0 Sassuolo

As Sassuolo lack real bite in the final third, Napoli should secure back-to-back wins at the start of their Scudetto defence. The Partenopei's forward line is packed with power and an ability to open up the tightest of defences - and their visitors are not particularly strong at the back either. Read more.
