Match Analysis

Sassuolo's recent performances have been a mix of results, showcasing a win against Verona, a draw with Lecce, and a narrow loss to Roma. Their defense has shown resilience, managing two clean sheets in their last three games. Sassuolo has averaged 1.0 goal per game over the last five matches, with a similar average in goals conceded, suggesting a balanced, albeit modest, attacking and defensive output. Genoa, on the other hand, is in a dire situation, having failed to secure a win in their last three outings. Their recent performances include losses to Cremonese and Torino, and a goalless draw against Parma. Despite scoring an average of 1.0 goal per game in their last five matches, their defense has been vulnerable, conceding 1.75 goals on average. Genoa's expected goals metrics indicate potential in their attacking play, but their defensive frailties have been a significant drawback.

Final Prediction

Sassuolo holds a slight edge in this matchup, largely due to their better standing in the league and more stable recent performances. Their ability to keep clean sheets in two of their last three games could be crucial against a Genoa side struggling to find form. A key factor to watch will be Sassuolo's defense, which may play a pivotal role in securing a positive result.
