Match Prediction for Verona vs. Sassuolo
Verona's start to the current championship hasn't been promising, particularly in attack: Paolo Zanetti's side has scored only two goals in Serie A this season. Furthermore, the club hasn't been prolific even at home: in their last 15 home league matches, Verona has never scored more than once, netting just six goals in total during this period.
Sassuolo hasn't been impressive in attack during away matches: in their last nine Serie A games, the team has only scored more than once on two occasions, both against less prominent opponents – Salernitana and Cremonese. Moreover, in 5 of their last 7 encounters with Verona on their turf in the league, Sassuolo has been limited to just one goal.
I expect this to be a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
* Each team's starting lineup is based on their last match in this tournament.
