Sassuolo is one of the nice surprises of this first part of the season in Italy and ranks 7th in Serie A with 29 points taken in 17 games. Roberto De Zerbi’s men still show some shortcomings against the big names. During the last 5 days, they lost against AC Milan (1-2) and on the lawns of Atalanta (5-1) and Juve last weekend (3-1), for 2 victories acquired against the two clubs of Genoa: at Sampdoria (2-3) and at home against Genoa (2-1)

Relegated from Serie A last year, the team are currently 5th in Serie B and are only 5 units behind the top of the standings. The team-mates of striker Paloschi are fighting to recover immediately but they seem to be stalling for some time. Indeed, they have only won twice in the last 7 days, for 3 defeats and 2 draws. Beaten twice consecutively in Ascoli (2-0) and by Brescia (2-3), SPAL reacted in the last match by winning against Frosinone (1-2).
