Sassuolo vs SPAL 2013 Free Betting Tips

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)

In the previous rounds, SPAL defeated Crotone (1-1, qualifying following penalties) and Monza (2-0). 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).

For Sassuolo, top scorer Berardi, important defender Romagna and substitutes Ricci, Haraslin and Bourabia are all unavailable this week, injured.

In this SPAL formation, we find several elements that have long figured in Serie A in recent seasons. We are thinking of defender Tomovic (ex Fiorentina), midfielders Lucas Castro (ex Hellas Verona) and Missiroli (ex Sassuolo) and forwards Paloschi (ex AC Milan) and Floccari (ex Parma) but Paloschi would be absent
