Sassuolo to continue their fine form

Sassuolo looking to build on a big win

A late Maxime Lopez winner midweek against Juventus has seen an aspirational Sassuolo side clime to ninth in the Serie A. Their hopes of cracking the recent top six are well and truly alive, but consistency is the absolute key for Sunday's hosts. They have a great talent acquisition system, and their current crop of players are up there with Serie A's best. But without a consistent run of form, this side will be nothing but a 'what if'.

Empoli showing to be the best of the rest

This Empoli side are far more talented and have done a better job than fellow newly promoted sides Venezia and Salernitana, who both sit 16th and 19th respectively in the league. Empoli are 11th in the league, and also boast of of the best away records in the league after ten matches played. However, their recent overall form means that this away streak won't count for much if they cant steady the ship and prove that they're Serie A material going forwards into this season.

Fluctuating form all round

While neither side is exactly the steadiest when it comes to overall form, the recent rich vein of form that Sassuolo possess combined with Empoli's sub-par showings in recent weeks leads me to believe that Sassuolo should ease to victory here. A big win against Juventus could well springboard Sassuolo's season.

With the hosts coming into this match on a high after toppling Juventus, the odds are in their favour. But there's still certainly some value in a side who's form is very unpredictable, so that's the reason I have gone with Sassuolo to win with bet365.
