Genoa vs Sassuolo. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (October 17, 2021).

Genoa struggle to break away from the group of outsiders. The Griffins are in terrible form and have recorded only one victory in Serie A so far. After seven rounds, they have 5 points (1 victory and 2 draws) and sit just above the relegation zone. The fans have one consolation: Genoa defeated Perugia in Coppa Italia (3:2).

In the last round, Genoa lost to the Serie A newbies Salernitana (0:1). Davide Ballardini is in a difficult position when he needs to find a solution to the team's crisis.

Sassuolo are doing slightly better than their opponents and have earned 7 points (2 victories and 1 draw). The Black-and-Greens showed good football last season and almost got into the European club competition zone, but lost to Roma on goal difference.

Roberto De Zerbi is the author of that success, but the 42-year-old manager is now introducing his tactics to Shakhtar Donetsk, while Sassuolo is managed by Alessio Dionisi, who previously was head coach at Empoli.

In the last round, Sassuolo suffered a disappointing defeat from Inter Milan at home (1:2).
