Sassuolo take on the visitors Torino in the round 19 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 8th at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia).
Sassuolo had an early start of the season, beginning to play matches in July. Of course, the first team lack resources to battle in the end of 2016 after playing two matches a week for several months. As the result, the team took only two wins in their last 15 matches in 2016, moved down in Serie A standings and got eliminated from Europa League. The team ended the year with four defeats in a row with 4-9 on aggregate. Neroverdi are now 16th in the league after 17 matches played and only seven points ahead of teams from relegation zone. Sassuolo played end matches at own turf, taking four wins and four defeats with 9-11 aggregate goal difference.

Torino improve their football and results with arrival of Mihajlovic, who has to prove his failure in Milan was a coincidence. The team shows high scoring and only Napoli and Roma have scored more. The Bulls are now eighth in the league with 28 points gained and should be battling for a place in Europa League next season if keep up with results. The visiting side has to improve performance on the road as they have gained only eight points in nine matches with 15-17 goal difference and exactly away results didn’t allow the team to be in top-four.
Sassuolo and Torino are of about the same level and low place of the hosts can be explained with an early start of the season and additional matches in Europe. Both team stick to open football and we can expect them to combine quite number of goals today.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
