Sassuolo enters this round in a pretty good form, having won their last 4 consecutive matches, including a home win against Spezia. This has placed them in 12th position on the table, with 12 points less than the 6th spot that leads to European competitions. It seems difficult for them to reach Europe, but at the same time, it is also unlikely for them to be relegated. This means that they are comfortably settled in the middle of the table, with no pressure to perform. This could work to their advantage, allowing them to play more freely and beautifully. Sassuolo is generally a team that plays very well in attack, having improved significantly in 2023. They score goals almost regularly in each match, but their defense is not at the same level. They also concede goals quite often, reminding us of the old Sassuolo that we have been used to for years.
Torino enters this round with one point and one position more than Sassuolo. They are also in a similar situation, comfortably settled in the middle of the table, with no pressure to perform. However, they come into this match after a tough defeat against Napoli, where they conceded 4 goals. They need to make amends in this match and get back to winning ways, especially after winning their previous two matches. Torino is playing much more efficiently this year, with an attacking style of play that allows them to score many goals, which is a significant improvement compared to their previous seasons, where they were often inferior in attack.
Expected lineups:
Sassuolo possible starting lineup: Consigli; Toljan, Ruan, Erlic, Rogerio; Frattesi, Lopez, Henrique; Berardi, Pinamonti, Lauriente
Torino possible starting lineup: Milinkovic-Savic; Gravillon, Schuurs, Buongiorno; Singo, Ricci, Linetty, Rodriguez; Vlasic, Radonjic; Sanabria
Prediction: We can expect an open and attacking match with many goals. We might witness a clash between two teams playing without much pressure.
Suggestion: Over 2.5 goals @ 2.12.
