Sassuolo, Recent FormSassuolo will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 4-3 win in their away outing against Roma. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Roma who had 17 attempts and 7 on target.
Manager Alessio Dionisi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Dionisi will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Armand Laurienté will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Sassuolo.
Spezia, Recent FormThis Spezia side will be full of confidence going into this match against Sassuolo, having recorded a 2-1 home win against Inter Milan in their last league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 31%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Inter Milan had 28 shots on goal with 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Leonardo Semplici will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. Having conceded at least 1 goal in 11 out of 12 away games this season, they are not making it easy for themselves to pick up valuable points on their travels.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
M'Bala Nzola will be hoping to create problems for Sassuolo in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Spezia.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Sassuolo will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Spezia. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Sassuolo know how to do it against Spezia, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Spezia remains without a victory against Sassuolo in their previous 3 league encounters.
Sassuolo player Domenico Berardi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Spezia, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
With no real injury worries, Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Leonardo Semplici has a number of injury concerns in his Spezia squad to contend with: Simone Bastoni (Meniscus), Emil Holm (Tendon) and João Moutinho (Muscle)
