The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Genoa lock horns with an impressive Sassuolo side in an important encounter at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore on Friday.
Sassuolo vs Genoa Preview
Genoa are currently in 14th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Juventus last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Neroverdi were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Udinese in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.
