Serie A: The middle-of-the-table placements tell a story of the journey Sassuolo and Salernitana have undertaken so far. Both contenders are set to play; bring it!
- Salernitana have not yet lost a game away.
This should be an engrossing fixture with lots of action and excitement as both teams are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's go!
Sassuolo form and stats
Sassuolo have played 3 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Sassuolo are returning here after visiting Torino and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Álvarez scored the goal(s). Finally, a league victory after four games without one. The victory against Torino came after Álvarez's winning goal. The Sassuolo manager Dionisi was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 86th minute. Defender Ferrari got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.6/10. Ferrari won 1 of 2 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Udinese that was lost 1-3.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sassuolo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sassuolo here at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games).
Salernitana form and stats
Things could have gone better for Salernitana in their Serie A away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. One point away has become something of a habit for Salernitana who have played out draws in their last three away games.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Lecce with 1-2 on the scoreboard. That loss was their first after five consecutive league games winning points. Midfielder Candreva was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.75. Candreva hit three key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 40 total).
Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Juventus.We have checked recent matches where Salernitana have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were 5 victories, 7 draws and 2 defeats.
Salernitana have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 3 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
