Sassuolo vs Venezia Prediction
Sassuolo have been weak at the back so far, but their defense will have a great chance to regain their confidence back against a poor Venezia offense. The hosts should be able to get the three integral points and put some distance between them and the visitors on the table.
We predict that Sassuolo will beat Venezia on Saturday.
Prediction: Sassuolo 2-1 Venezia
