Sassuolo to Win or Draw
Looking at the stats of both teams’ last ten fixtures, Sassuolo are the favorites to win with a 50% possibility. The Neroverdi have won five of their last ten outings in all competitions.
Over 2.5 Goals
In their last ten matches, Spezia had nine games during which over 2.5 goals were scored. The same number of goals saw Sassuolo’s last four games and the last four h2h meetings.
Sassuolo to Score First
Eight times last season Sassuolo scored the opening goal in a match while playing on the road. Moreover, Sassuolo scored first in four of the last five meetings with Spezia.
Spezia
Spezia started their 2022/23 Serie A campaign with a win and a defeat. The Eagles did well to finish 16th last season and stay among the top flight teams for another season. However, they scored just 21 goals in 38 games and conceded 30.
For that, new coach Luca Gotti will be determined to have better offensive performances in the new season. Nevertheless, it is still early to judge Gotti after losing to Inter Milan in the first match and beating Empoli by a goal to nil. As a result Spezia already have a better start than last season when they had one point at this stage.
Sassuolo
On their part, Sassuolo bounced back from their first-round defeat by beating Lecce 1-0 at home. Obviously, the Neroverdi were regarded as one of the most exciting young teams in Serie A but their form has deteriorated in recent seasons.
Having started the last campaign winning just one of their first five games, coach Alessio Dionisi will make sure his team doesn’t fall into the same three-match loss they had. Nonetheless, the Neroverdi are undefeated in La Spezia in their three previous trips and will be looking to go one better come Saturday.
With both teams having the same points (3 ) and goals scored and conceded (1-3), we expect a very close game. Sassuolo are a very talented team but Spezia showed great fighting spirit last season. Consequently, we prefer to back a draw or away win for this fixture.

Sassuolo winning by one goal returns 3.4 times your stake at 22Bet. This is possible if we back Sassuolo to beat the -1 goal handicap which they did in six of their last eight meetings with Spezia.
Andrea Pinamonti started his youth career with Chievo and then joined Inter Milan in 2013. The 23-year-old has been loaned to numerous clubs and this season it was the turn of Sassuolo where he is expected to fill in for Scamamcca who left for West ham.
Spezia defenders Ferrer with physical discomfort and Kelvin Adou with abdominal problems may miss this match. While Janis Antiste will be back in early September due to a knee injury.
On Sassuolo’s side, midfielder Traore with a foot injury and a defender with an ankle injury are both unavailable.
