Prediction: 2-1
Torino
Sassuolo and Torino go head to head at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in what is expected to be an entertaining Serie A game. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Neroverdi, who defeated Verona (3-2), shared the spoils with Sampdoria (0-0), while losing to Roma at the weekend. Sassuolo are eager to return to winning ways, but they will have to do it without Pedro Obiang, who is out of contention through illness.
Giacomo Raspadori is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Il Toro, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Salernitana where Antonio Sanabria opened his goal-scoring account. Key attcacker Andrea Belotti is sidelined with injury, as well as Djidji, Izzo, Zaza, and Verdi, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered.
