Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Olimpico di Torino will host Friday’s Serie A game between Torino and Sassuolo. Il Toro desperately needed a win against Cagliari at the weekend, and they managed to get one thanks to Bremer’s header. Davide Nicola’s troops aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but the match against Sassuolo will be anything but a walk in the park for the relegation-threatened team. Davide Nicola should have a full squad to choose from this time out.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with ten-man Bologna in their last league match. Sassuolo aim to stay in the race for a place in the Europa League, but given Torino’s six-game unbeaten run in the Italian top flight, we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Both Bouragia and Boga are likely to miss the game through injuries.
