Sassuolo travel to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday looking to continue their unbeaten run. The Neroverdi have not tasted defeat since Napoli in mid-February, which forms their only loss in their last ten Serie A matches.
Things are not looking quite so promising for Verona however, as following an improved run of results in the beginning of the year, the Gialloblu are without a win in six games. Given the respective form of the two teams, it comes as no surprise that the odds are stacked heavily in favour of an away win.
Despite their impressive recent results, Alessio Dionisi’s side have by no means been free scoring in the past few weeks. Monday night’s draw against Torino, which ended a four-match winning streak, was evidence of a lack of firepower amongst the Neroverdi. Having taken the lead in the first half, Sassuolo were unable to build on their single goal, meaning an equaliser was easy to come by for the Granata.
In fact, the Neroverdi have relied on luck being on their side on a number of occasions in recent weeks, winning by just one goal in four of their last five games. Similarly, when Verona and Sassuolo have gone head to head in recent years, the team from Modena have won by a single strike in three of the last four occasions. A wager on a similar result this weekend could therefore well pay off.
Fortunately for the visitors, a narrow win is likely to be all they need, as their hosts have had their own goalscoring problems in the past few weeks. The Gialloblu have scored just two goals in their last six games, whilst they might find a way to unlock Sassuolo’s defence on the counter-attack, a bet on Marco Zafferoni’s team to score under two goals should likely come through.

Verona team news
Following a strong performance against Juventus Marco Zafferoni is unlikely to make significant changes. Josh Doig may come into the midfield whilst Curil Ngonge will be hoping to feature up front. Thomas Hency and Milan Djuric both remain side-lined but Simone Verdi made his return last weekend.
Sassuolo team news
Alessio Dionisi has his full squad available for Saturday’s game and will want to avoid disturbing momentum by making too many changes. Andrea Pinamonti is expected to be handed a start over Gregoire Defrel whilst Ruan will retain his place over Gian Marco Ferrari.
