Sassuolo form and stats

Sassuolo have played 17 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-6 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sassuolo to get some points in this home game.

Sassuolo lost their last game at Napoli (placed 3rd) after a 1-6 scoreline. Sassuolo were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. The gifted forward Defrel outperformed all teammates in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.35 out of 10. Defrel hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Juventus that was lost 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sassuolo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).
