Sassuolo — Genoa : Match Preview and Prediction for November 03,2025

Sassuolo’s Recent Performance and Outlook

The Neroverdi secured a crucial victory last week against Cagliari, defeating the Sardinians 2-1 on their home turf thanks to a dominant spell in the second half. Now, the league’s struggling side, Genoa, is set to visit Reggio Emilia, presenting a prime opportunity for Sassuolo to capitalize. The decisive second-half surge against Cagliari occurred between the 55th and 65th minutes, with Fader and Pinamonti establishing a two-goal lead for Sassuolo. While Pinamonti managed to pull one back, it wasn’t enough for the hosts. This win propelled the Green and Blacks to 10th place in Serie A with a 10-10 goal difference after nine, not ten, matchdays. For the upcoming match against Genoa, Sassuolo will be without Boloca, Romagna, and Pieragnolo, while Berardi and Skjelde are listed as doubtful.

Genoa’s Current Struggles and Managerial Change

Genoa also suffered a 1-2 home defeat to Cremonese, sealing Patrick Vieira’s fate as the team’s manager. The Frenchman had been with the Genoese for a full year; while he managed to stabilize the team after Gilardino’s departure last season, he failed to do so this term and was dismissed following the loss to Cremonese. The team is currently searching for a new coach, finding themselves leaderless ahead of their trip to Sassuolo. After nine rounds, the Rossoblu have just three points and are still winless. Salvation might still be possible, but it will fall to a different coach. Stanciu is expected to be the only absentee for the visitors against Sassuolo.
