Match Preview
Hellas Verona hosts Sassuolo at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday, 5 October, in what promises to be an intriguing Serie A clash. Both teams have struggled for consistency in recent matches, with Verona managing just one win in their last five fixtures (DWDDL), while Sassuolo has fared slightly worse, recording only one victory (LWDLL). The historical head-to-head record favours Verona, who have won five of the last ten encounters, but Sassuolo's attacking prowess could pose a significant threat.
One concrete angle to consider is the likelihood of both teams finding the net, as evidenced by the high number of matches in their recent history that have featured both teams scoring (BTTS has occurred in 7 of the last 10 meetings). With Verona's home advantage and Sassuolo's need to bounce back from a string of poor results, this match could see an open game with opportunities for both sides. Expect an entertaining fixture where goals are likely to be on the agenda.
