In the actual table the teams have only point in-between them, but I see Sassuolo as a far better team, and that idea is also supported by xG-data which seems them alreay six points ahead at this point. In short, Empoli have been lucky in front of both goals, Sassuolo pretty much have what they deserve. A look at their latest games:

Can not really complain any of those since the poor performance v Torino. They do create enough chances to score against anyone, and the last round away shock win at Juventus surely was a morale boost! Berardi, Djuricis and Raspadori at dangerous at all times, although Djuricic is not available today.

Empoli have conceded 20 goals already, it is a rate that will lead you to relegation battle sooner or later, as they are unlikely to keep up their scoring pace. A look:

3 of their 14 goals are scored by players missing today, 3 of their goals are from 3 penalty shots, 10 of them are against the defensively weakest sides Cagliari,, Bologna and Salernitana.. there is a reality check awaiting as on their best days Sassuolo can performance on the level of Roma, Atalanta and Inter.

Another factor is the managerial situation, Sassuolo coach came from Empoli and he knows better than anyone what their weaknesses are!

Long story short, in my papers Sassuolo are 60% winners here.

2-0

在实际的表格中，两队只有中间的一分，但我认为萨索洛是一支更好的球队，这一观点也得到了xg数据的支持，目前看来他们已经领先6分了。简而言之，恩波利在这两个进球上都是幸运的，萨索洛是他们应得的。看看他们最新的游戏:

自从对都灵的糟糕表现后，我真的不能抱怨任何一个。他们确实创造了足够的机会在对阵任何人时进球，而上一轮客场对尤文图斯的惊人胜利无疑是对士气的鼓舞!贝拉尔迪，朱里奇和拉斯帕多里在危险时刻，尽管朱里奇今天不能上场。

恩波利已经丢了20个球，这样的速度会让你迟早陷入保级大战，因为他们不太可能保持他们的得分速度。一看:

他们的14个进球中有3个是今天缺阵的球员进的，3个点球进的，其中10个对手是防守最弱的球队卡利亚里，博洛尼亚和萨勒尼塔纳。在他们最好的日子里，萨索洛可以像罗马、亚特兰大和国际米兰一样表现。

另一个因素是球队的管理状况，萨索洛的教练来自恩波利，他比任何人都清楚他们的弱点!

长话短说，在我的论文中，萨索洛60%是赢家。
