Torino vs Sassuolo Prediction
Sassuolo have flattered to deceive for the majority of their Serie A campaign and will need to resolve their issues in the coming weeks. The Neroverdi have impressive players in their ranks and cannot afford another poor run of form in the league.
Torino have improved in recent weeks and are perfectly capable of pulling off a positive result in this fixture. Both teams are evenly matched on paper and could play out a draw this weekend.
Prediction: Torino 2-2 Sassuolo
