Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Genoa and Sassuolo square off against each other at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in what is expected to be a very exciting Serie A game. The Rossoblu aim to put an end to their four-match winless run, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Neroverdi. All Maksimovic, Cassata, Sturaro, Buksa, Biraschi, and Vanheusden are out of contention with injuries, while Destro and Criscito will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Despite producing a fine display against Inter, the Neroverdi were eventually beaten by the Nerazzurri before the international break. Since Sassuolo are eager to return to winning ways, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Obiang remains on the sidelines through illness, but he should be the only absentee in the away side. You should bear in mind that 11 goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides.
