Match Prediction: Verona vs. Sassuolo
Verona's start to the current championship has been less than ideal, primarily due to their lackluster attacking play: Paolo Zanetti's side has scored just two goals in the current Serie A campaign. Moreover, the club has not been prolific even at home, failing to score more than once in their last 15 home league matches, netting just six goals in total over this period.
Sassuolo cannot boast of attacking efficiency in away matches: in their last nine Serie A outings, the team has scored more than once only twice, and that was against lower-ranked opponents such as Salernitana and Cremonese. Additionally, in 5 of their last 7 encounters with Verona at their ground in the league, Sassuolo has been limited to one goal.
I expect this to be a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
