Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Genoa and Sassuolo will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Daniele De Rossi or Fabio Grosso has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.36 equating to roughly a 75% probability.
