Sassuolo failed to stay at high levels when they even reach the top of classification during October-November. They were penalized by the large number of injuries and absences due to the virus that undermined its continuity. Now even the Europa League seems like a complicated target to reach: between the 'Neroverdi', now in eighth place, and Lazio sixth there are six points, a gap that at the moment appears difficult to bridge.In the last four rounds of Serie A, Sassuolo marked only two points. And even in Cagliari was near a loss but winger Boga decided to draw it in the last minute of injury time.Berardi should return in this match, but manager De Zerbi will have to decide who, between Defrel and Caputo will lead the attack.

Spezia despite being a newly promoted and having a qualitatively limited staff, has almost never given up to their philosophy. But this squad under manager Italiano find it hard to be consistent. They started the year with seven points in three matches, eliminated Roma and frightened the Napoli Coppa Italia by scoring five goals overall, but on the last day they were overcome 1:0 in the match-salvation by Udinese, in addition to being unable to express themselves.That match left a lot of problems — two suspended players and several injuries.Its a delicate period for Spezia too in the term of players absentee. Untill now they played with full squad only one or two times.

Sassuolo

Injuries/Suspensions: Bourabia (12/1 m), Lopez (14/1 m).

Spezia

Injuries/Suspensions: Farias (17/3 m), Ferrer (11/0 d), Piccoli (12/2 f), N'Zola (13/9 f), Pobega (14/3 m), Saponara (2/0 m).

Prediction:

Both managers dont betray their attacking philosophies but Sassuolo should turn the page after a decidedly subdued month.

Sassuolo -0.5

萨索洛未能保持高水平，他们甚至在10 - 11月达到了最高级别。由于疫情破坏了其连续性，造成大量人员受伤和缺勤，他们受到了惩罚。现在，即使是欧罗巴联赛似乎也是一个复杂的目标:在排名第八的“内罗夫迪”和排名第六的拉齐奥之间有6分，这个差距目前看来很难弥合。在意甲的前四轮比赛中，萨索洛只拿到了两分。即使是在卡利亚里，比赛也接近失败，但边锋博加在伤停补时的最后一分钟决定将比分扳平。贝拉尔迪将会在这场比赛中复出，但是主教练泽比将会决定在德弗雷尔和卡普托之间谁将领衔锋线。

尽管斯佩齐亚是一个新晋升的，并且拥有一个质量有限的球队，但几乎从未放弃他们的理念。但是在意大利主帅的带领下，这支球队很难做到前后一致。他们以3场7分的成绩开始了今年的比赛，淘汰了罗马，并以5球的成绩击败了那不勒斯意大利杯，但在最后一天，他们被乌迪内斯1比0击败，除此之外，他们没有表现出自己的能力。那场比赛留下了很多问题——两名球员停赛，几名球员受伤。对于斯佩齐亚来说，由于球员缺阵，这也是一个微妙的时期。到目前为止，他们只有一两次全队出场。

这场看好萨索洛主场获胜。
