Palermo vs Sassuolo Betting Tips

Palermo picked up their first loss of the season at the weekend, they were beaten out by a determined AC Milan in a high-scoring 3-2 affair. Prior to that they had beaten Genoa and Udinese, and had drawn with Carpi.

They showed against Milan that they are a good side, but they’ll be disappointed that they were not able to lock that game down, they’ve now conceded five goals in their last two games after posting shut outs in their first two. They don’t look good when they are attacked.

One thing you will get from Sassuolo is attack. They were perhaps a little unlucky not to steal victory at Roma this weekend and they’ve now drawn their last two games 2-2 after winning against Napoli and Bologna. This is an athletic team that runs up and down the field and seems to create open games where goals are scored.

It’s worth noting that it’s not all by design in Sassuolo’s case. In fact, this team is probably designed to focus more on the defensive end of the field.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Hard to pick a winner

There’s decent numbers on both teams in this match-up, but the truth is that picking an out and out winner is tricky. We slightly prefer Palermo because of home field advantage and their potential to bounce back, but Sassuolo’s record through four games is the more impressive.

2. Open game

Neither team will be desperate for an open game, but they haven’t had much choice in recent games. They’ve both got target men that can disrupt against defences.

3. Love the odds on BTTS

It’s difficult not to like near even odds on BTTS for teams that have each been involved in competitive high-scoring games of late.
