Verona vs Sassuolo prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-02 18:45.
[p]Hellas Verona will look to post their first win of the 2025/26 Serie A campaign on matchday six against Sassuolo, who are only three points ahead.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 2-0 defeat at Roma last round extended Verona’s wait for their first win of this league campaign (D3, L2), keeping them only marginally above the relegation zone. Scoring goals appears to be an ongoing concern for the Mastiffs, who have failed to score in four of their last five competitive matches, while no team has netted fewer league goals in this campaign than the hosts (two). Playing at home is unlikely to assist their cause as Verona haven’t won any of their last eight home top-flight games (D6, L2), drawing each of the last four.[/p]
[p]Sassuolo started their life back in the top-flight after a one-year absence with consecutive defeats. But in their defence, both of those losses came against current top-seven teams and the Neroverdi got things back on track with two wins in their last three league games (L1). Their recent 3-1 win over Udinese gives the visitors a chance to post consecutive Serie A victories for the first time since September 2023, but fulfilling that will need them to improve their recent away record, as Sassuolo have been poor travellers and were beaten in 12 of their last 15 top-flight trips (D3).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]There’s very little to separate these sides in top-flight H2Hs with Verona winning seven of 18 games (D2, L9) including the last time they met. That gives them a chance to record consecutive Serie A wins over Sassuolo for the first time since February 2014.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Thirteen of Verona’s last 15 Serie A games saw under 2.5 total goals scored.[/p]
[p]Verona scored between 0-1 goals in each of their last 15 league games.[/p]
[p]Only Cremonese have accumulated fewer shots than Sassuolo (45) in this Serie A campaign.[/p]
[p]Sassuolo failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 27 top-flight away trips.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Suat Serdar has been Verona’s first scorer with each of his three career Serie A goals including against Udinese on matchday one, which remains their only field goal in this league campaign. Andrea Pinamonti could take his time to have an impact on the game as eight of his last ten Serie A goals have come during the second half, including Sassuolo’s first away goal of this league campaign against Cremonese.[/p]
[p]Verona seemingly have no fresh injuries, while Sassuolo also have a nearly fully fit squad to choose from.[/p]
