Napoli v Sassuolo
Monday 18:00 (Live on ESPN & Betfair Live)

After a whiteout on Saturday, FC Copenhagen brought Kevin in from the cold with a 2-0 win over Vestsjaelland.

He's a braver man than us. We're taking no chances with the weather and heading straight for the Bay of Naples.

Napoli have failed to score in just one of their last 20 Serie A matches.

At the Stadio San Paolo they've struck at least twice in 9/10 recently and notched at least once in 27/30 since Rafa Benitez pitched up at the start of last season. Stats like that suggest they won't miss the suspended Gonzalo Higuain today.

And with a scoring record like that, why aren't they top of the league? Because they've managed just two clean sheets in 11 on home turf.

This evening's visitors are Sassuolo. There's really just one thing you need to know about Sassuolo: both teams have scored in each of their last 11 league games.

For completists, we can also note that Eusebio Di Francesco's men have scored in 9/10 on the road and conceded in 11/14.
