- Torino FC have won the last two meetings in Serie A (2-1 to Sassuolo in 2025/2026).
- Torino have won four of their last five games in all competitions (D1).
- Sassuolo's home record in all competitions reads (W3, D1, L2) and Torino's away record reads (W2, L2).
Similar setups but different styles in store
Two sides that will look to dominate possession but in very different styles meet at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore on Saturday when Sassuolo take on Torino FC.
Alberto Aquilani has had the Neroverdi playing a more positional game since he took over on 12 June 2026, where structure and flexibility have been the key facets of their play.
The Neroverdi have mostly played either a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-2-1 with different pace, tempo and possession emphasis, but the idea is still the same - dominate the ball and control the game.
Ignazio Abate has had the Granata more direct, fast and physical since taking the reins on 12 June, so this could be a possession vs press chess match on Saturday.
Torino have better form and a good record
Torino come into this game in better form than their hosts, with a record of W4, D1 and L0 over their last five in all competitions, while Sassuolo have gone (W1, D1, L3).
Torino average 1.50 goals scored and conceded on the road in all competitions, so we should see a fairly open contest on the pitch that might suit the visitors.
Sassuolo have scored 2.00 goals per game at home already, having already scored 12 goals, so Both Teams to Score at 1.73 is a solid second betting angle for this matchup.
Sassuolo are 2.35 favourites to win the match against Torino's 2.9 with the draw at 3.3, and on paper it is a tight call, but the visitors have the sharper edge of form and should have the edge in the game too.
The Granata have won their last two meetings against Sassuolo, so we're with them to earn the full points against a team that has not beaten them in their last three attempts.
