The action in Serie A this weekend kicks off with Hellas Verona’s trip to Sassuolo on Friday evening. The visitors have made a strong start to the new season after winning each of their opening two matches, and a third win before the international break would put them in a promising position.
Serie A Preview
It has been a reliable start to the new season for Hellas Verona, as they look to improve on their finish in the Italian top flight last term. The Italian club have won each of their opening two matches this season, and a third straight victory this weekend would send them to the top of the standings before the sides around them have the opportunity to respond.
Verona’s excellent start to the new season was maintained in front of their home fans on Saturday, as they picked up a hard-fought 2-1 success over Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma. Their efforts in that success were netted by Ondrej Duda and Cyril Ngonge. They held on well in the final stages after being reduced to ten men with six minutes to play on the clock.

It has been a contrasting start to the new season for Sassuolo, as they sit bottom of the standings having failed to pick up a single point or found the back of the net at least once. A response will be expected this weekend, as they resume action in front their home fans.
At present, Sassuolo sit bottom of the standings, and they were handed a second straight defeat in the league on Sunday, as they suffered a 2-0 loss on the road against Napoli. Their task was made even harder in that fixture, as they were reduced to ten men just six minutes into the second half.
Sassuolo vs Hellas Verona Head to Head
There hasn’t been a draw between these two sides in the previous six encounters, with Sassuolo winning four of the matches over that period. That includes a 2-1 win in this exact fixture last term. However, Verona landed a 2-1 win in the second match between the sides last term.
Sassuolo vs Hellas Verona Prediction
This should be a competitive match in Serie A this weekend. However, we will be siding with the in-form side, as we could see Verona maintaining their winning sequence at the start of the new season.
