Verona vs Sassuolo Betting Tips
Serie B playoff win Hellas Verona at the end of last season saw them promoted back to the top flight at the first time of asking, but it's safe to say that their 5th place finish during the season have a lot of people doubt their ability.
However, eight games into the Serie A campaign and they find themselves looking back to the early respectable. They claimed nine points so far, leaving them 14th in the table and three of the relegation zone. Victory on Friday would propel them to the top of the table ahead of the rest of the weekend fight.
three-game unbeaten streak ended Verona last weekend at Napoli, but now they're back in front of their own fans they will be quietly confident in their chances. They have only lost one of their four Serie A home games this season, and that comes as a result of playing 70 minutes with 10 men against AC Milan.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, are in very poor condition at this time. They were on the wrong side of a thrilling encounter 4-3 with Inter Milan last weekend to make it three defeats on the bounce to them, and leave them outside the relegation zone on goal difference alone.
Away from home things worse for them. Sassuolo has not taken a point on the road this season, and look back to last season they have lost each of their last five Serie A distant day. Looking further back, they only won one of the last 15 games away their competitive, losing 10 times in the process.
This is a good time to face Sassuolo, and especially so for Verona after they clinched their first home win against Sampdoria at the beginning of this month. The host is very confident in avoiding defeat here, and given this Sassuolo form away from home, we think back to Verona Draw No Bet is optional.
Sassuolo, for all their faults, have scored in eight of their last nine league away games, so we expect them to get on the score sheet here. However, with an average of two goals conceded per game in this period, a 2-1 win for the hosts looks the best bet for our predictions correct score.
