The Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia will host Sassuolo’s Serie A fixture against Genoa on Monday as both teams look to get back to winning ways following their loss last weekend.
The Neroverdi currently sit in 10th position on the table after winning just three of their last five games. They got back to winning ways following a narrow 2-1 away victory over Cagliari last weekend.
Meanwhile, the Griffin have struggled in their last five games, without a win. They enter this game off the back of a disappointing 2-0 home defeat against Cremonese in their last Serie A match, extending their current winless streak.
