Genoa – Sassuolo

Genoa host Sassuolo in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides, with the home side languishing in 19th place on just one point from four games (0‑1‑3, 2‑8) and desperate to snap a winless streak. Sassuolo sit comfortably in the top half at ninth, having amassed seven points from four outings (2‑1‑1, 8‑7) and will be looking to consolidate their push for European spots. The two clubs have yet to meet this season, but the stark contrast in form suggests a battle between a beleaguered Genoa hoping to earn their first victory and a Sassuolo side eager to keep their momentum alive.
