Verona vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting Tips (3 March)

In great danger this season, Hellas Verona is currently 17th in Serie A and has the same number of points as the first relegation team. Since a success against a direct competitor for maintenance, Empoli 2-1, Marco Baroni's men have not won in the championship, 3 draws and 3 defeats. After showing good performances to stand up to Monza 0-0 and Juventus 2-2, they fell back last weekend. Traveling to an attractive Bologna team, Hellas Verona failed to create a 2-0 surprise. Not expected so much this season, Sassuolo today occupies 18th place in Serie A with the same number of points than his opponent of the day.

Unable to win in the last 7 days, 1 draw and 6 defeats, Andrea Pinamonti's partners logically worry all the fans about their ability to rectify the situation. They remain on 3 losses suffered against Atalanta 3-0, Empoli 2-3 and Napoli this week 1-6. Eliminated from the Italian Cup, Sassuolo will concentrate all its forces on the operation to maintain Serie A.

Like the last meetings, the Hellas Verona coach cannot count on replacement goalkeeper Berardi and very little used striker Cruz (0 goals in 4 SA matches), who are injured. However, no other absences are to be deplored. Several major players left the club this winter while many players came to strengthen the team. Striker Noslin (1 goal in SA) is one of the most high-profile recruits and should still be started. Note the presence of full-back Centonze who arrived from Nantes. For Sassuolo, potentially starting defenders Toljan and Viti must still withdraw this weekend.

On the other hand, the important midfielder Boloca has finished serving his suspension. Injured since mid-January, the essential Berardi (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) returned to the group on the last day but did not come into play. This is also the case for starting defender Erlic. Berardi could start this time and support striker Pinamonti (9 goals in SA). Sassuolo collapsed against Napoli this week (6 goals conceded) and now has the 19th defense in the championship.
