The Serie A fixture, S.S.C. Napoli vs. U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at the Stadio San Paolo.
Napoli were stunned in a 3-2 defeat to Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Sunday, despite having a two-goal lead inside an hour. A dummy from Victor Osimhen left Dries Mertens (44') with the opener just before the break, before André-Frank Zambo Anguissa stole the ball from a blue shirt to tee up Lorenzo Insigne (53') for Napoli’s second. But the game would take a dramatic turn late in the second half after Henderson (80') pulled one back. Three minutes later, an error from Napoli’s goalkeeper left Pinamonti (83' & 88') with the leveler before he returned for the brace five minutes later. The defeat leaves Napoli without a win in three games, WWLDL, and in 3rd place, seven points adrift of AC Milan [74 points], while having 67 points from 20W, 7D, and 7L. With four games left to play, mathematically, Napoli is not entirely ruled out of the title chase. The Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways and remain competitive in the event that the league leaders, AC Milan, drop valuable points along the way. Napoli has won eight of their 17 Serie A matches against Sassuolo [8W, 7D, & 2L] and are unbeaten in all league meetings that have occurred in the second half of the season [4W & 4D] against the Watermelon Peel. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Victor Osimhen in attack is expected from Luciano Spalletti against Sassuolo on Saturday.

After suffering defeat at the hands of the Little Zebras, the Blues take on the Partenopei this weekend, looking to dent their Serie A title hopes. Empoli F.C. vs. S.S.C. Napoli kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 24, at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Napoli are coming off the back of a 1-1 draw against Roma, having failed to hold on to a one-goal lead last Monday. Lorenzo Insigne (10' P.) had put Napoli in the lead before a last-gasp effort in stoppage time from El Shaarawy (90'+1) saw the would-be three points reduced to one at the Stadio San Paolo. In 3rd place on the Serie A table, having picked up 67 points from 20W, 7D, & 6L, Napoli are looking to return to winning ways after two games without a victory, WWWLD. The Parthenopeans trail the league leaders, AC Milan [71 points], by four points and are adrift of second-placed Inter [69 points], who have a difficult fixture against Roma this weekend, by two points. A victory here could see the gap to the sisters at the top reduced. However, with only one win in eight episodes at Empoli, Luciano Spalletti could be plagued with doubts. Spalletti stuck with the 4—3—3 against Roma and could be doing so again against Empoli for Sunday’s clash. The Nigerian, Victor Osimhen, is expected at the center of the attacking trio along with Hirving Lozano and Lorenzo Insigne. Meanwhile, Kalidou Koulibaly has accumulated a yellow-card suspension and is ruled out of the weekend's clash.
After last weekend’s defeat to the Lilies, Gli Azzurri are back against the Little Cubs in the 150th episode between both sides, looking to get their Serie A title race back on track. S.S.C. Napoli vs. AS Roma kicks off at 18:00 (GMT+1) on Monday, April 18, at the Stadio San Paolo.
Goals from Dries Mertens (58') and the Nigerian Victor Osimhen (84') were unable to prevent a second defeat in five games for Napoli, LWWWL, following a 3-2 loss to Fiorentina at the Stadio San Paolo. The defeat was a huge blow to Gli Azzurri, who are now five points adrift of the league leaders, AC Milan [71 points], as they head into this difficult clash with the Magic One. Both AC Milan [2-0 vs Genoa] and Inter [3-1 vs Spezia] won over the weekend, leaving Napoli with what is now considered a must-win fixture on Monday. In third place, the Blues are looking to return to winning ways, having picked up 66 points from 20W, 6D, and 6L. With a chunk of defeats picked up at home, Luciano Spalletti will be left mulling over Napoli’s home form ahead of Monday’s clash. Eight of Napoli’s 10 defeats across all competitions this season have come at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Only once before have they lost more home games in a single season, which dates back to the 1997-98 season (11). Spalletti had another view amid calls for an Osimhen-Mertens duo in attack from the fans. The 63-year-old also gave an injury update in the pre-match interview ahead of Monday’s game. "He’s much better," Spalletti said, speaking of Fabian Ruiz. "He’s someone I can pick from the start. Di Lorenzo won’t be there, but he will be at the next game. Petagna, we’ll evaluate him tomorrow. Zielinski is fine," the Napoli boss added. A 4—3—3 with Osimhen, Insigne, and Matteo Politano in attack is anticipated for Monday’s clash against AS Roma.
After an impressive victory over the Goddess of Bergamo, the Blues are on the verge of picking up four league wins in a row over the Purples at the end of this weekend’s clash for the first time since 1990. S.S.C. Napoli vs. ACF Fiorentina kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at the Stadio San Paolo.
Napoli swept Atalanta aside last weekend at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, following a 3-1 win over the Bergamo-based club. A well-calculated counter-attack was seen in each episode which led to a goal for the Blues. Lorenzo Insigne (14' P.), Matteo Politano (37'), and Elif Elmas (81') put their names on the scoresheet, while Marten de Roon (58') scored Atalanta’s only goal at the Gewiss Stadium. The win leaves Napoli with three consecutive victories in a row, WLWWW, and in second place, one point behind the league leaders, AC Milan [67 points]. Gli Azzurri have 66 points after 20W, 6D, and 5L. Napoli are looking to pick up four Serie A victories in a row over Fiorentina for the first time since the period between 1988 and 1990, having already bagged three in a row. Luciano Spalletti is expected to line up the 4—2—3—1 formation against Fiorentina, with Victor Osimhen replacing Dries Mertens at the top of the shape. The Nigerian failed to feature in the 3-1 win over Atalanta last weekend due to a thigh injury. In what was another episode of an injury scare, Osimhen returned to Napoli group training this morning [Friday] after being forced off the pitch early during Wednesday’s training session at Castel Volturno. Andre Zambo Anguissa has accumulated a yellow-card suspension and will not be available for Sunday’s clash against the Lilies.
The Serie A clash between Atalanta B.C. and S.S.C. Napoli kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 3, at the Gewiss Stadium.
Napoli bagged a 2-1 win over Udinese thanks to a brace from Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen (52’ & 63’). Osimhen, who picked up the EA Sports Player of the Month for March, rejoins the squad after the international break, which saw Nigeria denied by Ghana for a spot in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The World Cup draws were held earlier today [Friday], with Russia kicked out and Italy missing from the pots, having failed to qualify for the tournament. Meanwhile, Napoli remains in 2nd place with 63 points from 19W, 6D, & 5L, and will be returning with back-to-back victories, DWLWW, having earned 34 points in 15 Serie A away matches. They have had as many away points at this stage of the competition only once, back in the 2017/18 edition of the Italian Serie A [39]. Luciano Spalletti could be thinking about the familiar 4—3—3 with Dries Mertens taking Victor Osimhen’s place in front of goal. The Nigeria international accumulated a yellow-card suspension and is ruled out of the weekend’s game alongside Amir Rrahmani. Andrea Petagna (hamstring) and Giovanni Di Lorenzo (sprained knee) are also ruled out of this clash against the Goddess of Bergamo.
After a Victor Osimhen-inspired win over the Yellow & Blues, Gli Azzurri are back against the Little Zebras, in search of a win and a chance to move into first place at the expense of the Rossoneri. The Serie A clash between S.S.C. Napoli and Udinese Calcio kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 19, at the Stadio San Paolo.
Victor Osimhen struck twice to see Napoli pick up a win over nine-man Hellas Verona last weekend at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi. A remarkable header from Osimhen (14') had Napoli in the lead inside the first quarter of an hour, before he went on to celebrate with the camera, literally. Osimhen (71’) struck again in the second half to leave Napoli inside the comfort zone with a two-goal advantage. Six minutes after the brace, Verona’s skipper, Faraoni (77'), found the back of the net for the Mastiffs before Federico Ceccherini [R. 83’] was given the marching orders. Right at the death, Faraoni [R. 90’+8] was also shown the red for handling the ball. "Victor is a top player with still room for growth," Luciano Spalletti said, acknowledging the Nigerian. "He certainly has enormous generosity and makes himself available beyond the goals scored," Spalletti added. Having returned to winning ways, DDWLW, and with Inter [59 points] picking up a draw against Torino [1-1], Napoli moved one spot ahead, from 3rd to 2nd place on the table. Gli Azzurri have 60 points from 18W, 6D, & 5L, and Luciano Spalletti would like to see three more points added while looking to Cagliari for favors against the league leaders, AC Milan. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Osimhen in attack is expected from Spalletti for this clash against Le Zebrette. On Tuesday, a club statement confirmed that Andrea Petagna picked up a thigh injury in the game against Verona, and will not be available for the weekend.

Napoli failed to seize the opportunity to go top of the table at the end of last weekend's clash against AC Milan, having suffered a 1-0 defeat. Olivier Giroud (49) stuck out a leg for the only goal of the game at the Stadio San Paolo. Following the defeat, the club moved from 2nd to 3rd place on the Serie A table, having failed to pick up a point on Sunday. The Blues are left with 57 points from 17W, 6D, and 5L, after what became the first defeat in five games: WDDWL. Luciano Spalletti would like to see his side return to winning ways on Sunday, knowing Napoli have a great record on the road. The club has lost only one of their last 18 away Serie A matches [13W, 4D, & 1L]. Spalletti could line up the 4—2—3—1 once again, having Victor Osimhen at the top of the shape. Lorenzo Insigne, who has a hand in eight goals in 12 Serie A league games against Hellas Verona [3G & 5A] - his record high - is expected to keep his place in attack on Sunday while having an eye on goal.
The top-of-the-table clash, S.S.C. Napoli vs. AC Milan, kicks off at 20:45 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 6 at the Diego Armando Maradona. Referee Daniele Orsato has been nominated to carry out the responsibilities of the first official.
Last weekend, Napoli wobbled to a 2-1 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. Luis Alberto had passed up a fine opportunity to put Lazio in the lead before a stunning 20-yard strike from Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne (62’) separated both sides. Minutes later, Pedro (88’) pulled one back for Lazio from a similar area with a fine volley. The Eagles were looking to hold on for a point until Fabian Ruiz (90’+4) struck deep inside stoppage time to hand Napoli all three points. The victory leaves Napoli unbeaten in five games: WWDDW, ahead of what could be the title decider as they take on Milan in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the weekend across the Big Five leagues. In 2nd place, with 57 points after 17W, 6D, & 4L, Napoli are looking to reclaim first place from Inter [58 points], who moved into the top spot after a 5-0 win over bottom-placed Salernitana on Friday. Napoli have gained the most points in the second half of the season, picking up 18 points in eight Serie A fixtures, and are looking to retain their fine record at the end of the weekend. February's Serie A Coach of the Month, Luciano Spalletti, could appear with the 4—2—3—1 formation, having Osimhen at the top of the shape for this game against AC Milan.
S.S. Lazio vs. S.S.C. Napoli kicks off at 20:50 (GMT+1) on Sunday, February 27, at the Stadio Olimpico.
Napoli also crashed out of the UEFA Europa League after a 5-3 aggregate loss to Barcelona, following Thursday’s 4-2 defeat. Last Monday, Napoli picked up a 1-1 draw against Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena. The draw leaves the club in 3rd place, with 54 points from 16W, 6D, and 4L. Napoli are also unbeaten in five league games: WWWDD, ahead of this fixture against Lazio. Luciano Spalletti is playing catch-up, but with AC Milan failing to earn three points against Udinese following Friday’s 1-1 draw, a fine opportunity to close in on the league leaders appears to be on the horizon. Having drawn their last two games, both 1-1, against the Islanders and Inter, Napoli could pick up three draws in a row for the very first time since they last did so in December 2014. The Partenopei could line up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Victor Osimhen in attack against Lazio. Osimhen bagged the leveler for Napoli in the draw against the Sardinians last weekend, his 7th goal of the season. On availability, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Hirving Lozano remain on the list of possible absentees for the weekend.
