Sassuolo are aiming for their second straight win in the Italian Serie A on Wednesday against Napoli.

Alessio Dionisi's side surprised AC Milan 3-1 in their last game to move up to 12th place in the league with 18 points from 14 games. Gianluca Scamacca and Domenico Berardi were on target and they also benefited from an own goal.

Sassuolo, however, have a weak defense so they almost always give up a goal in their games. In fact, they have only recorded one clean sheet in their past 12 games.

Defensive midfielder Pedro Obiang remains injured for Sassuolo while winger Jeremie Boga and attacking midfielder Filip Djuricic are nearing return.

Napoli crushed Lazio 4-0 in their last game in Serie A. Dries Mertens scored twice while Piotr Zielinski and Fabián Ruiz added a goal apiece. The Azzurri currently lead the league with 35 points.

Prior to that win, Luciano Spalletti's side suffered consecutive defeats to Inter Milan (3-2) in the Serie A and Spartak Moscow (2-1) in the Europa League.

Midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and striker Victor Osimhen have injuries and they will not feature here.
