Serie B, Sassuolo after a less-than-stellar start now seems to have got into gear and is scoring in spurts: another win on the way for the neroverdi?
In the cadetteria, three teams already give the impression that they have taken off after the first 9 days. In addition to the leading Pisa, Spezia and Sassuolo, who have been devastating in recent outings, are also running. Special mention for Fabio Grosso’s neroverdi, capable of smashing 6 goals against Cittadella (6-1) and 5 against Brescia (2-5): the quality of the squad is making the difference – and there is no Berardi, destined for sale in January – and it is impossible not to consider the Emiliani among the favorites for direct promotion.
This weekend Sassuolo is engaged in the derby with Modena, a team that is struggling to find continuity and for the moment must be content to float close to the red zone. It promises to be a difficult afternoon for the Canarini, who will likely be unable to contain their cousins’ inspired attack in a match of at least two goals total. Pisa, on the other hand, takes the field on Sunday: for the Nerazzurri there is the trip to Frosinone, which has just changed coach. The defeat in Reggio Emilia (2-0) caused the Ciociari to sink to last place in the standings, and the club has decided to give Vincenzo Vivarini the sack, entrusting the team to the Primavera coach, Leandro Greco. Whether he will be able to immediately shake up a group built to aim for promotion remains to be seen. In our opinion, the Tuscans have a good chance of bringing home points in a match in which there will most likely be no shortage of goals.
What about Palermo? The Rosanero are seventh with one of the strongest roses in Serie B and continue to struggle: a week ago they did not go beyond a draw with Modena and are in danger of losing the infamous “train.” You absolutely cannot make a mistake against Reggiana at the “Barbera” and coach Dionisi knows it well.
The predictions on the other matches
Sampdoria, reborn with Andrea Sottil at the helm, wants to overlook the playoff zone as soon as possible. With him on the bench have come 3 wins in the last 5 games, plus qualification for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia after winning on penalties in the derby with Genoa.
Now the Blucerchiati have 11 points, one less than eighth and come from a roaring 5-3 win at home to Cesena. Against a struggling Mantua away from home, another positive result could come. On the other hand, it is not a good moment for Catanzaro: the Giallorossi are unable to recover from “pareggite” Caserta’s bench is again in the balance and the feeling is that his future depends on the match with the treacherous Sudtirol. Staying in Calabria, we foresee a tight match between last-place Cosenza – the Rossoblù are coming to terms with a 4-point penalty – and Juve Stabia, but the encounter between Carrarese and Cittadella, other teams whose primary goal is salvation, should not reserve too many goals either. Finally, we expect at least one goal on each side in Cesena-Brescia and Cremonese-Salernitana.
