Sassuolo form and stats

In the previous season, Sassuolo's league stats were 17 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses, providing 8th spot in the Serie A. Over these 38 matches they scored 64 goals and let in 56. Appearing at home in the previous season Sassuolo produced 7-8-4 (win-draw-lost) with 31 goals and 27 conceded.

A strong away win for Sassuolo against Hellas Verona the last match, as Giacomo Raspadori, Filip Đuričić and Hamed Junior Traorè were on target. Midfielder Filip Đuričić was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.23 (out of ten) in that game. Đuričić scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 33 successful passes (of 37 total). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of A. Dionisi when Hamed Junior Traorè scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.

Ahead of that match, Sassuolo won a home game hosting Lazio (2-0).

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 six games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost three.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Alessandria in the Coppa Italia.
