Sassuolo vs Spezia
Italian Serie A
Date: 17 March 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore (Reggio nell’Emilia).
Sassuolo and Spezia will come across each other after claiming famous wins last weekend in the previous round of Serie A.
They meet each other in the first match of Gameweek No 27 on Friday afternoon at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.
Sassuolo shocked Roma 3-4 on the road five days ago thanks to a staggering performance Armand Lauriente.
The 24-year-old French forward completed a brace and delivered an assist in the capital to help his team snatch the third win on the spin in the league.
Sassuolo are now 13th in the Serie A table and they sit 14 points above the red zone. They will have a great chance to maintain the winning thread here against Spezia who are still one of the weakest teams in the division.
The visitors snapped an eight-game winless streak across competitions by beating no one else but Inter Milan seven days ago at Stadio Alberto Picco.
The team’s top scorer M’bala Nzola made no mistake from the penalty spot to give Spezia a huge win with three minutes to go on the occasion.
It is, however, worth noting that Leonardo Semplici’s men got super lucky to concede just one goal from 31 shots they faced against Inter Milan last Friday.
The win moved Spezia five points clear of Verona in the danger zone. Can the visitors back it up with an upset in Reggio nell’Emilia?
Sassuolo are scoring goals for fun these days. They notched seven in the last two wins over Cremonese and Roma. Spezia have allowed at least two goals in each of the previous four away games in all competitions.
We’ll back the home win as the main pick at the 1.75 odds, while we are also very much tempted by the 3.40 odds offered for the in-form Armand Lauriente to score anytime for the hosts here.
