Sassuolo vs Torino team news and expert analysis
The club from Emilia-Romagna were relegated to Serie B in 2024. However, they won the division and, upon returning to the top flight, collected 49 points to finish 11th. But all of that came under Grosso. His replacement, Aquilani, began his tenure with a convincing 3-0 cup victory over Cesena. Then, against Atalanta in their opening Serie A fixture, they could easily have taken at least a point, but ultimately lost 1-2.
The Turin side continued to produce results that fell well short of their ambitions. This time, they finished 12th with 45 points, only moving into that position on tiebreakers. Now under new head coach Abate, they beat Carrarese 1-0 in the cup, with a single goal proving sufficient. In the league, they lost 1-2 to formidable opponents Milan, although they managed to score in the 90th minute.
The 2025/2026 newcomers averaged 1.21 goals per game while conceding 1.32. Torino's figures were clearly worse: they scored 1.16 goals per match while conceding 1.66.
