Friday, at 19:30, Sassuolo will receive the Empoli tournament in a match for the 5th round in Serie A. The match will take place on “Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore” in Reggio Emilia .
In spite of the logical defeat of Juventus (1-2) last round, Sassuolo remains a team to admire through his game at this season start. Overtaken by only three bands in Serie A (Juventus, SPAL, Napoli), the “non-runners” still show a good mood and could take advantage of the good moment in front of an approached adversary. Newly promoted on Italy’s first football scene, Empoli has not been impressed so far, much less on foreign ground. With only one point away from this season in front of similar teams, Genoa (1-2) and Chievo (0-0), the “scouts” will have a difficult life in Reggio Emilia, where group strength of Roberto De Zerbi’s band can make a new victim.
In the last ten direct direct confrontations between the two bands, Sassuolo was forced six times, Empoli in the other two rows, while two other parties ended in a tie;
The previous three direct disputes ended each time in favor of the “nerovars”: 3-2, 3-0, 3-1;
The last victory of the Azzurra on Sassuolo‘s field in an official match dates from October 2008, from a 4-0, when the two teams played in Serie B;
Probable teams:
Sassuolo (4-3-3): Consigli- Lirola, Magnani, Ferrari, Rogerio-Bourabia, Magnanelli, Duncan-Berardi, Boateng, Di Francesco
Empoli (4-3-2-1): Provedel- Di Lorenzo, Silvestre, Maietta, Veseli- Bennacer, Capezzi, Acquah- Zajc, Krunic- Caputo
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a relatively spectacular unfolding of hostilities. In the same way that we believe the hosts will continue their good series this season, we think we will witness a balanced offensive show, where there are good chances for the guests to score their score on the table mark.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.90
