Genoa - Sassuolo predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Sassuolo. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Sassuolo would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Genoa will head into the Sunday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Milan away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

Sassuolo’s victory in the previous round was one of the most unexpected outcomes in recent memory. They were heavily outmatched going in – at least that’s what the betting predictions thought. Playing as hosts against Inter, they won the match 1:0 on the back of a lead in the first half.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Serie A engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Considering the 3.26 betting odds on an away win, Sassuolo can’t hope for much with this matchup. The same goes for the season overall – they’re way down in the relegation zone with no time to try and claw their way out.

Genoa already have a victory over Sassuolo on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Serie A, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Domenico Berardi, Grégoire Defrel, Samu Castillejo have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.91 odds offered at William Hill.
