Brescia vs Sassuolo Predictions

• Brescia are hoping to jump out of the drop zone in their game in hand.
• Brescia have lost 10 of their 15 games this season.
• The hosts have lost 6 of their last 8 matches.
• Sassuolo are on a 4 game unbeaten run on the road.

Brescia’s Survival Chance

Brescia are aiming to build on some good form when they clash with Sassuolo this week. The hosts are on a two-game winning run, which counts for 50% of their victories this term. That points to their bounce and their deeper issues, which has left the club in the bottom three in their return to Serie A this term.

However, the hosts have moved within two points of safety and they’re aiming to continue that form here. They have had a game in hand for most of the campaign after this clash was delayed in October. Now the hosts have a major opportunity to leap out of the bottom three, but Sassuolo won’t just roll over here.

Brescia’s Tough Season

Since gaining promotion to Serie A, things have been tough for Brescia. The club have lost 10 of 15 games so far this season, with five defeats in seven matches at their own ground. It isn’t what they expected when Mario Balotelli joined a squad containing the highly rated Sandro Tonali. Instead, they’ve been left fighting against the drop all season.

Their victory over Lecce at the weekend was their first home win of the season. Before that, Atalanta rolled over them 3-0, with the Brescia players even struggling to perform in that derby clash. Their lack of fight has to be a worry, so if things start going against them again we could see the hosts struggle to perform this week.

Sassuolo Chase Win on the Road

While Brescia have their problems at home, Sassuolo are starting to shape up. Following a 0-0 draw at San Siro against AC Milan, Sassuolo are now unbeaten in their last four trips. The visitors have drawn three games on the bounce overall, so it’s quite surprising that the Neroverdi are priced quite so far out when they make this trip.

Brescia head into this clash with six defeats in eight behind them, leaving the hosts in trouble. They are going up against a Sassuolo side who lost just twice to sides below them in Serie A last term, while the visitors have managed to produce a decent away record in Serie A despite not facing any of the current bottom five in the division.

We are going with the visitors on the double chance market following their four-game unbeaten run against Brescia. With the hosts losing five times at home this term, we’re tipping Sassuolo to claim a 2-1 victory here, having seen both teams score in the last four clashes between these two.
