Torino
- Torino sit 13th in the Serie A table with 41 points from 35 games, while Sassuolo are 10th with 49 points.
- Roberto D’Aversa has instilled some discipline and compactness to his Torino FC side since taking over in February and they have been better defensively as a result.
- Torino's last three matches were a 0-0 draw away to Cremonese, a 2-2 draw at home with Inter and a 2-0 defeat away to Udinese.
Sassuolo
- Sassuolo have the better recent form, losing just one of their last five matches ( Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 1 ).
- Sassuolo drew 0-0 away to Fiorentina before their 2-0 home win over AC Milan, so they are in solid form, but have only drawn one and lost one of their last two away games.
Head-to-Head
Torino have won two and drawn one of the last three Serie A head-to-heads with Sassuolo.
Key Players
- Giovanni Simeone has led the line well for Il Toro, scoring 10 goals in 29 Serie A appearances, but only two of them have come in his last five games.
- Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti has eight goals in 33 Serie A games and can be a handful for any defence, the Neroverdi have enough attacking quality to outscore Torino here.
Betting Insights
- Sassuolo’s away record in Serie A (Won 5, Drawn 5, Lost 7 from 17) suggests that a win and draw double bet is a safer option as they have scored just 1.18 goals per-game and conceded 1.24 per-game on their travels this season.
- Torino FC have won seven, drawn three and lost seven of their 17 home games, averaging 1.35 goals per-game, while conceding an average of 1.53 goals.
Prediction
We are going for a Sassuolo win at 3.17 and a high-scoring game, so over 2.5 goals at 2.01 and both teams to score at 1.69 looks good value.
