Chievo vs Sassuolo Betting Tips

Chievo are currently 10th in the table, they snapped a three-game losing streak and a four-game win-less run with a 2-1 away victory over Torino. They’ve generally played pretty well away from home of late, winning two of their last four and battling pretty well in a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan.

Sassuolo are eighth place and have just slipped slightly down the table more recently. They’ve slipped out of legitimate contention for a Europa League contention, but there’s no questioning that it has still been an excellent season for Sassuolo. They drew last weekend’s game 2-2 with Palermo and they’re looking for their first win in six games, when they beat Inter Milan 1-0 on January 10.

Head-to-Head

The two teams drew their previous meeting this season 1-1. Sassuolo got the better of the match-up last season winning their home game 1-0 and drawing the tie in Chievo 0-0.

Team News

Midfielder Karim Laribi is expected to miss out for Sassuolo, while Chievo continue to nurse a long list of questionable players. Defenders Dario Dainelli, Fabrizio Cacciatore, Alessandro Gamberini are all doubtful, crucial goalscorer Riccardo Meggiorini is definitely out, while Perparim Hetemajand Simone Pepe are doubtful in the midfield.

Reason for Betting Tips

This is going to be a balanced game of football. The two teams don’t typically score a lot of goals against one another, but Sassuolo have been attempting to open up their playing style more recently and Chievo are dealing with a pieced together starting XI. There are going to be mistakes in this game and the consequence of that is that there will be goals.
