Venezia – Sassuolo : Preview & Prediction
Venice must lose no more time in collecting points as the current 18th-placed Serie A side is playing for survival and is three points behind Cagliari, 17th and first non-relegated. The promoted side have only taken 7 points in the last 10 games and have lost two of their last two league games against Genoa (1-1) at the Pierluigi Penzo stadium and Hellas Verona (3-1) last weekend. Venice have not won in their own stadium for eight games and have drawn twice with Empoli (1-1) and Genoa (1-1) and lost three times to Lazio (1-3), AC Milan (0-3) and Napoli (0-2). Sassuolo, meanwhile, are in 10th place and can still claim a European place, as their eight-point deficit on sixth-placed Roma is not insurmountable with 11 games to go. Berardi’s team-mates (10 goals) have been on a roll in recent weeks, taking seven points from nine against Roma (2-2), Inter Milan (2-0) and Fiorentina (2-1) last weekend. Dionisi’s side could build on their success in Lombardy against one of Italy’s top teams.
Sassuolo are stuck in the bottom half of the table (10th).
Venezia are 18th and first in the relegation zone.
Sassuolo beat Venice 3-1 in the first leg last October.
Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last three games (2 wins and 1 draw).
Venice have won just once in their last 10 games in all competitions.
Sassuolo’s last trip to Inter Milan was a success and they could do well at promoted Venice.
