Prediction: 1-0
Sassuolo
Torino and Sassuolo face each other at Stadio Olimpico di Torino in the closing match of the Serie A round 11. Il Toro did well to beat Lecce thanks to Alessandro Buongiorno’s goal at the weekend, with the team putting an end to their five-match winless run and they have a nice opportunity to give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Monday evening.
Even though all Perr Schuurs, Brandon Soppy, and Koffi Djidji remain on the sidelines with injuries, home win should be considered as Sassuolo are not regarded as good travellers. Midfielder Agustin Alvarez has yet to overcome an ACL problem, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Alessio Dionisi is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two teams in the Italian top flight.
