Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, start their title defense with an away game against newly promoted Sassuolo, aiming for their third league win in four years after strengthening their squad.
Team Analysis:
Napoli secured the Serie A title in a tight race, winning key matches despite a lack of fluency, with Antonio Conte remaining as coach and the squad strengthened by signings like Kevin De Bruyne. They start their title defense against promoted Sassuolo, who aim to survive under Fabio Grosso after bouncing back from Serie B. Sassuolo performed well at home last season but face a tough challenge against Napoli’s strong record.

For Sassuolo, Armand Lauriente leads the attack after scoring 18 goals in Serie B, supported by Domenico Berardi and Andrea Pinamonti. New goalkeepers Stefano Turati and Arijanet Muric compete for the starting spot, while several loanees could feature under coach Fabio Grosso.
Result Prediction:
Napoli face a tough test against Serie B champions Sassuolo, but with strengthened attack options and impact substitutes, they are favored to secure the win.
