The 2022-23 Serie A season is now in full swing and these Spezia vs. Sassuolo predictions form part of another busy weekend in the Italian top flight. The sides have endured a mixed start to the campaign with a win and a defeat each in the opening fortnight.
Spezia vs. Sassuolo odds
1 – A draw at – 8/3
2 – Spezia under 1.5 total goals – 4/6
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 13/10
4 – Both teams to score – 7/12
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 13/2
Spezia and Sassuolo have both started the Serie A season in relatively solid, if unspectacular style, with three points each from their first two games of the campaign.
After edging out Empoli on the opening weekend, Spezia lost to Inter last time out, with Sassuolo bouncing back from defeat to Juventus to beat Lecce last weekend.
That evenness in league form makes it difficult to pick a clear favourite to go on and win this game and a draw looks to be a likely outcome between two teams stilling finding their feet, at the Stadio Alberto Picco.
Neither squad have looked full of confidence in front of goal in either of their Serie A outings this month with Spezia and Sassuolo both netting just one goal in 180 minutes of top-flight action, either side of 3-0 losses in August.
The struggles from both sides to hit the goalscoring trail is likely to be reflected in this contest with a low scoring encounter a very strong option based on their respective early season inconsistency so far in 2022-23.
However, given the tightness between the two sides, there should be some scope for a goal scored each in this game, but it is unlikely to be more exciting than that in Liguria on Saturday evening.
A 1-1 draw could be a very realistic outcome in this tie, and it does not offer a significant negative impact on either side’s start to the season, with a return of four points from three games, involving two sides expected to be battling from a relegation battle up on into mid table in the coming months.
