Sassuolo hosts Spezia in round 21 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 6th at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia)
Sassuolo showed perfect results at the start of the current season. But now the Black and Greens are losing their positions quite sharply. An unexpected defeat in the cup became the turning point - De Zerbi's charges lost 0-2 to modest Parma at home. Then the experts admitted that the club decided to sacrifice the tournament for strategic reasons so that to concentrate strength and attention on the struggle for a return to European Cups. But Sassuolo has not gained victories in Serie A since January 6 - just on Saturday, it will be exactly a month. Neroverdi lost to strong opponents like Juventus and Lazio and tied with more acceptable rivals. On January 17, Sassuolo avoided a home defeat to Parma thanks to a goal from the penalty spot in the 95th minute. On Sunday, the story almost repeated itself in Cagliari, but Boga scored an open-play goal at the same time.

Spezia made its debut in Serie A only. As for an absolute beginner, the team looks quite decent. Vincenzo Italiano's charges have already scored 18 points and take a place above the relegation zone. And they managed to make some noise in the cup - Cittadella, Bologna and even Roma were consistently eliminated there. Formally, the Wolves should have suffered a 3-0 forfeit defeat, but in fact, the outsider of the pair advanced to the next round after winning 4-2 in extra time. Moreover, the Eaglets managed to score twice against Napoli, but the Blues did not repeat the mistakes of the Romans and won that game. On the other hand, taking into account the defeat to Udinese in the last round, Spezia has already lost three times in a row. And the team did not score a single point in the last two rounds. Will it be able to get hold of points this Saturday?
The teams played five head-to-head matches, and the result was unchanged - only Sassuolo won. Including in the 1st round of this Serie A, when the Black-Greens won 4-1 away in September. Both teams aim to play off-the-beaten-track football with an emphasis on the attack. And they should not change their philosophy in a face-to-face meeting. We recommend betting on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
