Verona vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

• Sassuolo lost six and drew one of the previous seven league affairs.
• Verona lost just one of the previous seven Serie A outings on the home patch.
• The visitors conceded three or more goals in four of the last five league games.

Sassuolo parted ways with Alessio Dionisi after the last weekend’s home loss to Empoli (2-3). Emiliano Bigica was appointed as the caretaker manager but his reign in Reggio nell’Emilia started with a nightmare defeat. I Neroverdi suffered the toughest loss of the season on Wednesday evening, falling 1-6 at home to out-of-form Napoli.

Another defeat has put Sassuolo inside the bottom-three in the Italian Serie A table. They will be looking to bounce back on Sunday afternoon in the match with fellow strugglers Verona. The teams are lock on points, sitting right on the brink of the relegation area. We have all the ingredients to call this a proper relegation six-pointer at this stage.

Verona have shown somewhat better displays of late but they will still go into this winless in six consecutive league fixtures. Nevertheless, I Gialloblu managed to hold Juventus to a 2-2 stalemate in the previous home outing. They did fall 0-2 at Bologna last Friday but head coach Marco Baroni still has a lot of positives to drag from the performance his men have put up at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Verona vs Sassuolo Prediction

Sassuolo have just not been pulling up any trees of late. The 1-6 defeat to Napoli only continued their horrendous spell of form. I Neroverdi lost six and drew one of the previous seven outings in the league. They’ve shipped three or more goals in four of the last five affairs along the way. On the other side, Verona did show certain improvements on both ends of the pitch despite a tough schedule in recent weeks. We can find the value in backing the home win at the odds of 2.25.

Alternatively, we fancy the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.95 odds. Each of the last six head-to-head matches between these counterparts have produced at least three goals. Sassuolo have shipped as many as twelve goals in the last three league defeats. The visitors now boast the second-worst defensive record in the whole division with 54 goals allowed in 26 league fixtures.
