Sassuolo vs Torino Predictions

• Sassuolo have won six of their last eight league games – including each of their last four in a row.
• Only Serie A leaders Napoli have beaten the Neroverdi since mid-January.
• Sassuolo beat Torino 1-0 on the road in last September’s return fixture.
• Torino have lost three of their last four away matches.

Sassuolo flying high

Sassuolo endured a frustrating first half of the season, but Alessio Dionisi’s men have a top-half finish in their sights after putting together a brilliant run since mid-January, and they have the chance to overtake Torino in the table when they welcome them to the Mapei Stadium on Monday. Having made it four wins in a row by beating Spezia prior to the international break, the Neroverdi will fancy their chances of maintaining their upward trajectory.

Indeed, Sassuolo have won six of their last eight games – including their last four in a row – after following up their thrilling 4-3 victory at Roma with a deserved triumph over Leonardo Semplici’s strugglers. Only runaway leaders Napoli have beaten Dionisi’s men since mid-January, and they have hit the net 17 times in their last eight games, a run which is reminiscent of their sparkling attacking displays under now-Brighton and Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi. At home, the Neroverdi have three wins in their last four, and they overcame Torino 1-0 on the road back in September.

Torino find themselves in the bottom half courtesy of their goal difference, after their inconsistent campaign continued with a resounding 4-0 loss to Napoli prior to the two-week break. Ivan Juric’s side had won back-to-back games before meeting the Partenopei, but they have struggled on the road of late, losing three of their last four away from the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Meanwhile, 10 of Il Toro’s 33 league goals conceded this term have come in their last five matches, and their backline could be exposed once again on Monday.

Neroverdi worth backing amid brilliant run

With Sassuolo in outstanding form and Torino undergoing something of a regression defensively of late, backing the hosts to make it five wins on the spin seems the obvious play for Monday evening’s fixture.

Meanwhile, a comfortable 2-0 win for Dionisi’s confident outfit could represent a solid correct score prediction – the Neroverdi rank eighth in Serie A for expected goals created this season despite their stuttering start.
