Sassuolo vs Genoa

Genoa are seeking their first win of the season as they travel to Sassuolo for a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The hosts are enjoying a solid return to the topflight and have done some good work in front of their fans. They will be keen to show their quality over the visitors, who have been out of sorts this season.

Sassuolo News

Sassuolo are coming off a 2-1 victory at Cagliari in their previous Serie A fixture, with Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti getting the goals. That result is part of a solid recent run, having gone unbeaten in four of their last five matches, earning three wins on this stretch.

Home form has been pretty solid for Sassuolo, who have won two of their last three matches in front of their fans. They have also won at least one half in three of their last five Serie A matches.

Sassuolo often look sharp going forward and have scored first in two of their last three home matches. However, there is a need to tighten up at the back, with Fabio Grosso’s team failing to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four home matches.

Genoa News

It has been a difficult start to the season for Genoa, who are without a win after nine matches. They are currently rooted to the foot of the table, with pressure mounting on manager Patrick Vieira.

Genoa lost to another newly promoted side last time out in Serie A, falling 2-0 at home to Cremonese. They will also travel to Mapei Stadium off the back of three straight away defeats.

Among the problems for Genoa is a lack of discipline at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have found the net in all four of their Serie A away matches so far.

Head to Head

Sassuolo and Genoa have four wins each and as many draws in the last 12 matches. The visitors did the double in the last two meetings during the 2023-24 season, with both fixtures ending 2-1.

Verdict

Sassuolo v Genoa

Sassuolo have caught the eye this season and will be keen to show their quality over a struggling Genoa side. Having won at least one half in three of their last five Serie A matches, a similar pattern could be in the cards here.

Neither defence has been unconvincing this season, and both teams are likely to find the net. Having scored first in two of their last three home matches, Sassuolo could be backed to grab the opening goal on Monday.
