Prediction: 3-1
Venezia
After sharing the spoils with Genoa in their last league match, Sassuolo will look to return to winning ways when they take on Venezia on Matchday 9. The two teams are level on points in the Serie A standings, but given the number of high-profile footballers in the home team, the Neroverdi are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s match. Both Ayhan and Obiang are sidelined with injuries, while Traore and Boga are major doubts.
The newcomers, on the other hand, did well to shock Fiorentina on Monday evening, with the team escaping the relegation zone. Venezia, though, are not considered good travelers, and they are unlikely to spoil Sassuolo’s party at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore. Both Fiordilino and Lezzerini are out of contention through injuries, while Johnsen is rated doubtful for the game. Anyhow, home win should be considered.
