Empoli vs Sassuolo Prediction and Betting Tips | November 26th 2023

Empoli and Sassuolo are back in action in the Italian Serie A when they go head-to-head at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Sunday.

Alessio Dionisi's men head into the weekend without a win in their last six league matches and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Empoli picked up three huge points in their quest to pull clear of the danger zone as they stunned Napoli with a 1-0 victory just before the international break.

Prior to that, Aurelio Andreazzoli’s side were on a two-match losing streak, suffering successive defeats against Atalanta and Frosinone respectively.

With 10 points from 12 matches, Empoli are currently 17th in the Serie A table, one point above 18th-placed Cagliari in the relegation zone.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Salernitana at the Mapei Stadium last time out.

However, Dionisi’s men have now failed to win their last six league games, losing four and claiming two draws since picking up successive victories over Juventus and Inter Milan back in September.

With 12 points from 12 matches, Sassuolo are currently 15th in the Serie A table but could move level with 12th-placed Frosinone with all three points this weekend.
