The club has played in Serie A since the 2013/14 term to join a group of teams playing in Serie A but who do not belong to a capital city. After finishing in 6th place in 2016, they made their first-ever appearance at the Europa League group stage. Sassuolo finished the 2018/19 Serie A season in 11th place.
Here are the players for Sassuolo:
3 DF Edoardo Goldaniga, 4 MF Francesco Magnanelli (captain), 5 Andrew Gravillon ( on loan from Inter Milan), 6 DF Rogerio, 7 MF Aldred Duncan, 9 FW Francesco Caputo, 10 MF Filip Duricic,12 DF Claud Adjapong, 13 DF Federico Peluso, 14 MF Pedro Obiang, 15 DF Marlon, 18 FW Giacomo Raspadori, 22 DF Jeremy Toljan (on loan from Borussia Dortmund), 23 MF Hamed Junior Traore (on loan from Empoli), 25 FW Domenico Berardi (vice-captain), 31 DF Gian Marco Ferrari, 32 FW Alessandro Matri, 33 DF Alessandro Tripaldelli, 36 MF Luca Mazzitelli, 47 GK Andrea Consigli ( 3rd captain), 56 GK Gianluca Pegolo, 68 MF Mehdi Bourabia, 72 FW Aristidi Kotaj, 73 MF Manuel Locatelli, 99 FW Enrico Brignola
Torino is 5-4-1 SU in their last 10 games played and they are 4-1-0 in their last five games played at home. Sassuolo is 2-5-3 SU in their last 10 games played and they are also 1-2-3 SU in their last six games away from home. Head to head, Torino is 3-5-2 SU in their last 10 meetings against Sassuolo and have not lost in their last four matches with two wins. Torino is also the soccer betting favorites in this contest.
Falque and Belotti are good enough to manufacture goals on their own and even from nothing. Nicolas N’Koulu is the key player on defense. The former Marseille player is a stape on their 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 formation. Izzo is also another significant player on defense for Torino. These players could be enough for Torino to make a noise in this match. Losing M’Baye Niang is a significant blow as he was the perfect compliment for Falque. Despite that, they are still the superior squad over Sassuolo and should take victory here. Prediction: Torino
