On Friday evening, Sassuolo and Genoa clash at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore in Serie A in what could be a big game at the bottom of the table.
Sassuolo
The home team is currently in 15th place in the table, four points clear of the relegation zone.
Alessio Dionisi’s team goes into this encounter on the back of just one win in their previous ten matches in the Italian top flight.
A 2-2 draw at Udinese last time out at least ended a two-game losing streak in the Italian top-flight.
The game was another high-scoring encounter, with over 2.5 goals scored in their previous six matches in Serie A.
Sassuolo have a poor recent home record in the Italian top flight, as they have failed to win in their previous five matches in Serie A, having picked up two draws and suffered three defeats.
Genoa
The visitors are only above their hosts courtesy of a superior goal difference.
Alberto Gilardino’s team are winless in their last five games in all competitions, picking up just two draws and suffering three defeats.
The run includes a four-game winless period in the Italian top flight, having picked up two draws and suffered two defeats.
A 1-1 home draw against Juventus last time out continued a recent run of low-scoring games, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous four matches.
Genoa have been poor on their travels of late in the Italian top-flight, failing to win in their previous seven games, including six defeats and just one draw.
They have also recorded just one defeat in their last 25 league matches on their travels.
The key to their poor recent away record is conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches on the road.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts this will be a close and low-scoring encounter, ending in a draw.
