Football Betting Prediction Sassuolo vs Empoli
Great start to the season for a Sassuolo who reach the fifth round of the Italian championship with 7 points and in the 6th place of the classification, ahead of teams like Lazio, Roma, Milan, Inter, Atalanta or Torino.
Of course little championship has passed so far, but Roberto De Zerbi’s team has shown a very interesting football and has reaped the fruits in terms of results in this early season.
He opened the hostilities with a 5-1 win at Ternana for Coppa Italia, extended the great moment to debut in Serie A, where they beat Inter Milan at home 1-0.
On Matchday 2, they lost the first points, however, at the Cagliari home in Sardinia, against a group that only lost one game in the four that it has already scored and that has already scored against Atalanta and AC Milan.
In the third round, they thrashed Genoa 5-3 in a quieter game than the result could make it look like.
They went down to lose, however they managed to reach the interval to win by 4-1, extended the advantage in the first quarter of the second half and only in the final stretch Genoa managed to score two goals and reduce.
Last week, they returned to the competition and finally lost for the first time, in the trip to Turin to face the champion Juventus (1-2).
If it is true that the men of Allegri squandered some good chances to win for more (Ronaldo failed two well against his style), especially in the second part, no less true that I liked the principles of a Sassuolo game that was not restrained from seek to divide the game and attack with discretion, especially in the first half.
Empoli is back in the fray of the greats in Italy and will therefore join forces to try to ensure maintenance.
For now, they add 4 points in four games, a record that turns out not to be negative, but not very positive as well.
It is going to be outside the zone of descent, more precisely in 16th place, with 3 more points than Bologna and Frosinone, the first teams dipped below the water line.
After starting Serie A with a 2-0 win at home to Cagliari, Aurelio Andreazzoli’s men did not win again, lost to Matchday 2 at Genoa 2-1, then drew again with Chievo on a goalless draw in Verona, having scored again last week at home to Lazio (0-1). Despite the defensive virtues that he has demonstrated, this Empoli feels some problems in the offensive chapter.

I do not think it’s necessary to be a visionary to think about a game where Sassuolo will dominate possession, try to attack and score the necessary goals to win with confidence.
On the other hand, to play out against an opponent who is well and for who is not inappropriate to think about the qualification for the European competitions next year, the Empoli should try to close and defend well and bet on the counterattack to be able to surprise.
Defensively, I even think the Sassuolo may suffer a little, especially for the stance he must adopt early on.
However, it is much more team than this Empoli, will play before its public, so far still only lost with Juventus and should have here a game to conquer three more points with greater or less difficulty.
