Sassuolo vs. Pisa: Match Prediction
Despite Fabio Grosso's side delivering an impressive performance against Atalanta by scoring three unanswered goals, I do not anticipate a similarly high-scoring game from the hosts in this match. In the clash with the Bergamo side, the club did not look particularly strong in attack, managing only four shots on target. Moreover, Sassuolo has not been very effective in creating chances at home, scoring more than once in only two of their last 12 home Serie A matches.
Pisa prefers to play defensively, focusing on a solid backline, which limits opponents' chances. In 11 matches in the current championship, the club has conceded more than one goal only four times, with three of those matches against Milan, Napoli, and Bologna, who are in the top 5 of the standings.
I do not expect the hosts to score more than one goal, so my prediction: Sassuolo Individual Total Under 1.5
