Venezia vs Sassuolo prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Venezia will welcome Sassuolo to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo for a matchday 28 fixture in the Italian Serie A on Sunday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat away to Verona last weekend. Giovanni Simeone scored a second-half hat-trick to inspire victory for his side.

Sassuolo secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over 10-man Fiorentina on home turf. Gregoire Defrel stepped off the bench to score the winning goal with the last kick of the game after Arthur Cabral had equalized for the visitors in the 88th minute.

Venezia vs Sassuolo Prediction

Sassuolo are one of the most expansive sides in Serie A and this translates into plenty of goals being scored at both ends whenever they play. Their away form has, however, been patchy, but a trip to Venezia could offer them some solace.

The hosts need the win to boost their chances of avoiding the drop but we are backing Sassuolo to secure a win with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Venezia 1-3 Sassuolo
