Sassuolo preview: Strong start for Sassuolo
Following their promotion to the top-flight of Italian football once again last season, with an impressive squad that should never have been down in Serie B, and they are tucked inside the top-half of the table after 15 matches.
Sassuolo come into this one on the back of an entertaining and impressive 2-2 draw with AC Milan at San Siro in their most recent outing last weekend, meaning that they have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches in Serie A.
Torino preview: Mid-table Torino
After a very average start to the Serie A campaign, Torino, who had often been firmly ensconced in the middle-of-the-table in recent seasons, but, coached by Marco Baroni, Torino got a much-needed victory last weekend.
After a six-match winless run of form, Torino managed to edge past a stubborn Cremonese side by a goal to nil at the Olimpico di Torino in Piedmont, courtesy of a 27th minute winner scored by Croatia international attacking midfielder Nikola Vlasic.

Sassuolo vs Torino prediction
With the talent that they have in the squad, such as Armand Lauriente and Domenico Berardi, albeit the latter is missing through injury for this one, have got more than enough to genuinely push for a top-half finish back in the top-flight. They face a Torino side that have a bit of talent in the final third but, mirroring issues of the past, lack cohesion across the park and siding with the hosts would appear the way to go for this one.
Sassuolo vs Torino tip: Double chance – Sassuolo to win or draw
