Genoa vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

Genoa vs Sassuolo Match Preview

• Genoa bagged three goals in each of the last two league affairs.
• Sassuolo head into this off the back of nine defeats and a draw in the previous ten away fixtures across competitions.
• The Neroverdi shipped five goals in their last away game two weeks ago against Fiorentina.

Sassuolo ended their five-game winless thread against the unlikeliest of the opponents last weekend. They shocked new Serie A champions Inter Milan, inflicting only the second defeat of the season on them. Armand Lauriente was the hero. The Italian striker made the difference with the 20th-minute strike.

The Neroverdi still have a long way to go to secure their elite-class status in the remaining three rounds. They are three points shy of the safe zone. Next up for Davide Ballardini’s troops is the trip to Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris this Sunday.

Genoa have enjoyed a fantastic campaign in this term of Serie A. They are miles away from the relegation scrap at the moment. The players seem to be enjoying their time on the pitch these days. The Rossoblu come into this on the back of a massive 3-3 draw at AC Milan in the previous round.

Recent Meetings

Genoa vs Sassuolo Prediction

Genoa are scoring for fun these days. They notched three goals in each of the last two league affairs. They’ve failed to score just twice in the previous twelve Serie A fixtures. Alberto Gilardino’s men demolished Lecce 3-0 in the previous home match two weeks ago.

Sassuolo did beat Inter Milan last weekend but they are still among the worst travellers in the division. The Neroverdi lost nine and drew one of the previous ten away matches in all competitions. We really like the look of the home win pick at the 2.20 odds here.

Sassuolo boast the second-worst defensive record in the league with 70 goals allowed in 35 matches this season. They shipped five goals in the previous away game against Fiorentina. Knowing how impressive Genoa have been offensively in the last couple of weeks, we have to opt for the Over 2.5 goals bet as an alternative option at the 1.90 odds.
