Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Torino and Sassuolo face each other at Stadio Olimpico di Torino in what is expected to be a close Serie A encounter. Il Toro have been impressive in 2022, with the team recording back-to-back wins over Fiorentina (4-0) and Sampdoria (2-1), but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. All Baselli, Linetty, and Belotti are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home side.
In Belotti’s absence, Antonio Sanabria should continue to lead the line for the hosts. The Neroverdi, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 4-2 loss to Verona. Since Sassuolo have been playing some high-scoring games of late, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Peluso has been tested positive for coronavirus, while both Filip Djuricic and Matheu Henrique remain in the recovery room.
