Sassuolo vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Serie A continues this weekend and will see Sassuolo host Torino at the Mapei Stadium on Friday.
Sassuolo have not begun their Serie A campaign as strongly as they would have liked, with just one win from three games so far.
They lost 2-1 to AS Roma on Sunday, with Stephan El Sharaawy netting a late winner for Jose Mourinho's side.
Sassuolo currently sit ninth in the league table with four points from three games. They beat Hellas Verona 3-2 in their opening game of the campaign, then played a goalless draw against Sampdoria before losing to Roma last week.
Torino picked up their first Serie A win of the campaign on Sunday with a 4-0 victory over newly-promoted Salernitana. Antonio Sanabria gave Torino the lead in the first half before goals from Bremer, Tommaso Pobega and Sasa Lukic followed in the second half.
Torino had previously lost their opening two games, both 2-1 losses to Atalanta and Fiorentina. The Granata currently sit 11th in the table and will be looking to build on their win last time out.
