Sassuolo vs Spezia Prediction 17.03.2023

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Friday, 17th, March 2023
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CET
• Venue: Mapei Stadium (Reggio Emilia)

Sassuolo is a stable member of the elite ranks of Italian football in recent years, but they don't seem to have enough potential to attack the top six, so their ultimate range has been the middle of the table - sometimes they are above, sometimes below, but mostly they revolve around the golden middle. The Neroverdi are playing somewhat weaker this season compared to a couple of seasons ago, but the fans have no reason to panic, because their beloved club has safely distanced itself from the relegation zone, so now they have 14 points more than Hellas Verona, which is first below the line.

It is completely clear that Spezia, taking quality and budget into account, belongs to the weaker teams in the Italian championship. However, great combativeness and not giving up is what adorns this team the most. True, in both seasons since their return to Serie A they spent in the lower part of the table, but the most important thing is that in each of them they fulfilled the set goal, which is survival in the company of the best. The Little Eagles hope to survive this season as well, as they are currently 17th with 24 points, five steps above the relegation zone.

Sassuolo vs Spezia Betting Tips: Team1 to Win

The first meeting of the current season between these teams brought us a lot of excitement, as it ended with the same result, at the same place, as last season - a 2-2 draw. On Friday, Neroverdi will try to repeat a game like the one from the last season when they crushed Spezia in front of their fans with a convincing 4-1.

If we have learned anything from the recent conflicts between Sassuolo and Spezia, it is that they are very attractive and efficient. This is best witnessed by the fact that the nets were shaken as many as 21 times in the previous five meetings, which gives an incredible average of 4.2 goals per game. With that, you can combine the victory of the home team with goals!

Neroverdi are in a big rise of form in recent weeks. It all started on January 29, when they demolished Pioli's Milan at San Siro (5-2). Since then, Sassuolo has suffered only one failure and that was from the powerful Napoli, while in the remaining six games they registered as many as five triumphs (with one draw - against Udinese, 2-2).

Coach Alessio Dionisi's team continues to trample their rivals and does not want to stop. The last victim of Sassuolo's terror was Mourinho's Roma, whom they defeated at the Stadio Olimpico in a seven-goal thriller (4-3), with which they extended their winning streak to three games, so they rightfully enter as favorites against Spezia.

Last weekend, Spezia finally tasted the sweetness of victory and brought great joy to their fans with a 2-1 victory over Inter. True, victory is not looked at in teeth, but the game of the Ligurian club does not seem promising, since before the duel with Neroazzurri they won only three points (three draws) from seven Serie A games.

The Eagles of Liguria are no doubt flying high after their triumph over Inter, but their recent away record does not bode well. Not only are Spezia winless in their previous four, but they have conceded 2+ goals in each of those, for a total of 11. All things considered, Sassuolo's victory should not be questioned.
