Torino are heading into this match having won just one of their last five games, with two draws and two losses, so they’re not in great shape. Sassuolo are in even worse form, having lost four of their last five matches and drawing the other, so they are really struggling at the moment. The two teams met earlier this season, and Sassuolo won that game with a single goal, so that was a low-scoring affair.

Both sides look quite evenly matched given their recent struggles, which suggests this could be a close and cautious game without many goals. Given that Torino are at home and Sassuolo are in such poor form, it makes sense to expect the home side to avoid defeat, though a draw is also a very possible result.
