Verona vs Sassuolo Live Stats & Betting Odds
Verona Prediction – Can Verona register back-to-back wins at home?
Hellas Verona’s pattern of results rather predictably ended with a 2-0 defeat away from home at 4th placed Napoli last time out in Serie A as their stretch of games without an away win this season extended to 3 matches, but there’s hope for an improvement at home on Friday night.
Recent defeats on the road at Juventus and Napoli were perhaps expected but Verona’s form on home turf at their Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi gives the hosts a certain amount of hope as the home side have collected a point in a 0-0 draw with Udinese which was then followed up with a 2-0 win over bottom club, Sampdoria.
An overall home record this season of 1-2-1 3/2 also includes a 1-1 draw with Bologna but also a narrow 1-0 loss to AC Milan, but the upcoming visit of Sassuolo give Verona the perfect chance to grab only their second home win of the season.
Verona also owe Sassuolo for a previous 1-0 defeat back in April of last season, but the recent wins against Sampdoria will have been a timely boost for the hosts here.
Sassuolo Prediction – Can Sassuolo avoid fourth away defeat?
The visitors are currently hovering dangerously just above the relegation zone in Serie A ahead of this tough trip to Verona on Friday night after a third defeat on the trot last weekend which has now dropped them level on points with third from bottom SPAL who occupy one of the places in the relegation zone.
Earlier defeats to Parma and Atalanta have prevented Sassuolo from pulling away from the bottom three in the Italian top flight, and the visitors have lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall in Serie A with an additional loss to Roma (4-2 away).
Sassuolo’s only respite in recent weeks was a 3-0 home win over SPAL, but an early poor away record of 0-0-3 3/7 underlines the problems the visitors have had on their travels in Serie A, which is nothing new,
Sassuolo have managed to register just 1 away win out of their last 14 matches on the road in the Italian top flight, and this trend could well continue at Verona on Friday night.
Key-Facts – Verona vs Sassuolo
- Verona recorded a 2-0 home win against Sampdoria last time out on home turf
- Sassuolo have managed to register just 1 away win out of their last 14 matches
- Verona have lost just 1 of the last 6 meetings at home against Sassuolo
Betting Tips Verdict
Given Sassuolo’s poor form away from home and Verona’s recent home win, backing the hosts with the draw no bet option looks the best play here.
