Sassuolo form and stats

Sassuolo must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Serie A games here at Stadio Città del Tricolore.

Sassuolo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Inter's place. The match ended 2-1 with Berardi and Bajrami scoring. Midfielder Berardi was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.41 (out of ten) in that game. Berardi scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Juventus.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sassuolo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sassuolo as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Sassuolo has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There will be little rest for Sassuolo after this match as they are travelling to Lecce for a Serie A game in only four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Sassuolo's attacking play is working. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sassuolo defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
