Sassuolo 19/20 to beat Benevento in Sunday’s Serie A clash

Competition: Serie A

Market: Sassuolo to beat Benevento

Odds: 19/20 @ Bet365

As a footballing nation, Italy are still in shock after their failure to reach the World Cup. Italy fell to a 1-0 aggregate defeat at the hands of Sweden as the competitive career of Gianluigi Buffon finished in defeat. The country clearly needs some form of footballing distraction, and the return of club football supplies that with a very intriguing clash at the bottom of the table as Sassuolo travel to Benevento on Sunday.

Benevento have been abysmal this season. 12 games, no wins, no draws and 12 defeats means they are yet to take a point from any team this season, while they are also eight points short of safety. They have only found the net five times this season, conceding 31 times along the way. Things have to change very quickly for the league’s bottom team, but they show no signs of doing so, with Benevento rooted to the foot of the table and the clear favourites to go down.

For Sassuolo, things are a little more optimistic – but only slightly. The visitors have won two games this season, while they have drawn twice and lost eight times. Six goals for and 21 against is hardly the most impressive of totals, but they will fancy themselves against Benevento, with this a huge chance to put some space between themselves and the relegation zone. With this in mind, we are backing the away team to pile more misery on Benevento, with odds of 19/20 from Bet365.
