Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After suffering a more than expected 4-0 loss to Milan, Crotone will be looking to give fans some cheer when they take on Sassuolo on Sunday. The Rossoblu are on a three-game losing run in the Serie A, with the team conceding nine goals in total in the previous three league fixtures. Crotone produce much better showings at home than on the travels, and seeing that they have been scoring goals for fun at their Stadio Ezio Scida this season, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net in Sunday's clash.
Dragus, Cuomo, Molina, and Cigarini are all sidelined with injuries, while Reca is a major doubt. The Neroverdi, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Spezia. Considering that Sassuolo are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Ferrari is banned for the visitors, while both Bourabia and Boga are sidelined with injuries.
