On Friday night, Sassuolo host Empoli in Serie A, as the home side look to move into second place in the Italian top-flight.
Sassuolo have won seven points from their four Serie A games of the campaign. However, a three-game unbeaten run in the league ended last time out when the home side suffered a 2-1 defeat at champions Juventus.
The home side has been difficult to defeat of late in Serie A, losing just three of their last 16 games in the Italian top-flight.
Their recent games in Serie A have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last three league outings.
Sassuolo have been strong on home soil of late in Serie A, winning four of their last five home outings. Their recent home games have been low scoring, though, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.
Sassuolo has a good home record against the visitors, winning the last three Serie A meetings on home soil.
Empoli have made mixed start to their Serie A campaign, having picked up just four points from their first four games in the Italian top-flight.
In fact, the visitor’s record in the Italian top-flight dating back to last season is poor, as they have lost five of their last seven games. Their recent Serie A games have been relatively tight, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.
Empoli also have a poor recent away record in Serie A, having won just two of their last 15 games on their travels in the Italian top-flight. The visitors have also failed to win in their last four games on the road, suffering three defeats in the process.
Forebet predicts that Sassuolo’s recent strong home form will continue with the home side recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
