Sassuolo vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
Since returning to the top tier of Italian football, Sassuolo has played confidently and aggressively regardless of the opposition's level. This approach has helped them maintain a solid scoring record, particularly at home, where they have failed to score in only four of their last 18 Serie A matches. However, Sassuolo has conceded in 7 of their last 9 home games in this competition.
Genoa may not excel offensively, but they have been consistently finding the net, even away from home. In their last six away league matches, the team has scored, including two goals against Napoli and three against Bologna. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches.
I expect both teams to score in this encounter, and my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their most recent match in this competition.
