Empoli vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

Empoli pulled off the biggest upset of the season two weeks ago when they stunned Napoli 1-0 away at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Viktor Kovalenko made the difference with a stoppage-time winner in Naples, moving his team away from the bottom-three in the Serie A standings.

It was Empoli’s third win of the season and they are now only two points below 15th-placed Sassuolo ahead of the clash with I Neroverdi on Sunday afternoon in Matchday No 13.

Sassuolo have scored eleven goals more than Empoli in the opening twelve rounds of the season but they are still only two points above them and a potential defeat on Sunday at Stadio Carlo Castellani would even push them below in the ladder.

I Neroverdi extended their winless thread to six games with a disappointing 2-2 draw to Salernitana two weeks ago on the home patch.

Kristian Thorstvedt offered his best performance of the season as his brace rescued a point for Sassuolo who allowed two early goals on the occasion.

It is also worth mentioning that Alessio Dionisi’s men fired 29 shots towards Salernitana’s goal two weeks ago.

Latest Meetings

The teams picked up a win each when they met each other in the previous term of Serie A.

Empoli have six wins, two draws, and four losses in the last twelve home outings against I Neroverdi.

Four of the last five head to head games between these counterparts saw the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score option coming in.

The Verdict

Empoli will go into this in higher spirits but Sassuolo possess more quality in their ranks and we expect them to pick up the much-needed victory on Sunday. The away win is paid at the 2.45 odds.

We will alternatively back the visitors to score two or more goals at the 2.00 odds knowing they registered 29 shots in the home draw to Salernitana in the previous round.
