Sassuolo, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Udinese meant Sassuolo had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Udinese, who had 9 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Their boss Alessio Dionisi is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 11 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 24 games.
It has not been their best home spell of late at Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches.
On an individual basis, Domenico Berardi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Sassuolo's last 6 league games.
Genoa, Recent FormGenoa will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Juventus with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Juventus' tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Albert Guðmundsson will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Genoa.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Sassuolo will be confident of finding the net in this one against Il Grifone, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 8 encounters between the two sides.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Sassuolo hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Sassuolo player Domenico Berardi will be feeling confident about recording goals against Genoa ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Agustín Álvarez (Cruciate ligament), Pedro Obiang (Hamstring), Matías Viña (Knee) and Mattia Viti (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mateo Retegui (Physical discomfort) and Kevin Strootman (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alberto Gilardino will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
