Verona will host Sassuolo at the Stadio Bentegodi in a crucial Serie A clash as both teams look to gain momentum early in the season. The home side are still searching for their first win after five matches, while Sassuolo have had a mixed start with two wins and three losses so far.
Verona manager Paolo Zanetti will be hoping his team can take advantage of playing at home and use the support of the Bentegodi crowd to spur them on. The hosts have struggled for consistency in their opening fixtures but will see this as an opportunity to kickstart their campaign.
Sassuolo arrive looking to build on their impressive win over Lazio last month. Manager Alessio Dionisi will want his side to showcase their attacking talents while staying solid defensively against a Verona team desperate for points.
With both teams eager to climb the table, this match promises to be a closely-fought contest. The outcome could depend on which side is able to impose their style of play and capitalize on their chances in front of goal.
