Sassuolo vs Genoa

Sassuolo has started very well this season and now seems to have important ambitions, even if the main objective remains quiet salvation. The Emilians have had a fluctuating performance, however, in the last few games and have now slipped to sixth place in the standings with 26 points, less than two from fourth place, which would even be worth a place in the Champions League. Roberto De Zerbi’s team in the last round was heavily defeated 5-1 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo against Atalanta.

Genoa has had several difficulties so far. The rossoblu had to deal with several cases of coronavirus initially and this also affected the current ranking. The guests, in fact, are penultimate in the standings, in the middle of the relegation zone, with 11 points, on par with third-last Spezia and fourth-last Turin. The griffins have changed their technical guide, with the arrival of Davide Ballardini in place of Rolando Maran. This turnover has paid off, given that four points have arrived in his first two appearances. After the victory against Spezia, on Sunday came the 1-1 draw at home against Lazio.
