Empoli
After four rounds of the 2018/19 season in Serie A, Sassuolo are sitting in third place, just behind Juventus and Napoli. Empoli, however, are in the bottom part of the table. The newly promoted Empoli side is struggling after they managed to score a win in their first game back in Serie A. Sassuolo finished 11th last year and will be looking to improve on that result. So far this season, they recorded a surprise Round One win against Inter Milan, drew with Cagliari and scored five goals in a win over Genoa, before losing to Juventus this past weekend. After scoring twice against Cagliari in the opening match of the season, Empoli have struggled in front of goal, scoring only once in the last three matches. In their previous 17 matches, Sassuolo hold the upper hand with nine wins and they are clear favorites to get another one on the board, securing all three points at home.
