Injury Reports
Sassuolo do not have any injury concerns, but Ruan Tressoldi will miss the match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.

Prediction
It’s quite obvious that Sassuolo are the better team, and our pick reflects just that. We are going with a straight-home win for Sassuolo. A good value bet at odds of 1.85 (-117 American; 17/20 Fractional).
Reason: Sassuolo are on a very good run, winning their last three in a row, including an away, win to Roma. The only loss in their last eight games was against Napoli, runaway league leaders.
Spezia’s injury concerns don’t make things much better. They average less than a goal per game and have scored just eight goals in their twelve away games. Sassuolo are ranked 8th in goals scored per match, and Spezia? The double of that – 16th.
