Sassuolo
DWWLWW
Sassuolo will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-2 Serie B triumph against Cesena.
In that game, Sassuolo managed 54% possession and 14 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. The scorer for Sassuolo was Armand Laurienté (24', 57'). For their opponents, Cesena got 12 attempts on goal with 1 on target.
Sassuolo have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, although they’ve also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Sassuolo have conceded in 5 of them as well as managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, of course.
Coming into this contest, Sassuolo haven't been defeated in their previous 14 league matches at home. What a fortress they have created.
Carrarese
LDWDDW
Carrarese will go into this match following on from a 1-0 Serie B win over Sampdoria in their last fixture.
In that game, Carrarese had 49% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Carrarese was Ernesto Torregrossa (6'). At the other end, Sampdoria got 15 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
During their 6 latest matches, Antonio Calabro's Carrarese have seen their efforts on goal rewarded 7 times thus yielding them a goals scored per game average of 1.17.
Looking at their past form shows that Carrarese:
- are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
- are without an away win for the past 11 league matches. A poor run.

ℹ️
Team News: Sassuolo
Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Sassuolo boss Fabio Grosso to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Kristian Thorstvedt (Heel problems) is out of contention.
📋
Team News: Carrarese
Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Carrarese gaffer Antonio Calabro to contend with. Stefano Mazzini (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action.
🧠
Prediction
We’re of the view that Sassuolo will most probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
Conversely, Carrarese won’t find it easy to find the back of the net although we do see them hitting back at some stage, too.
Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for Sassuolo at the end of the 90 minutes.
