Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore when Sassuolo and Salernitana lock horns in the Serie B round 14. Sassuolo aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mantova and Sudtirol, but they can’t afford any complacency in Saturday’s encounter. The good news for the hosts is that important midfielder Cristian Volpato is back from suspension.
I Granata, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures. As Salernitana produced an under-par performance in a 2-0 loss to Bari before the international break, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Petar Stojanovic is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Midfielder Franco Tongya has yet to recover from an ankle problem.
