Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
--------------------------------
Sassuolo will begin their 2025-26 season by hosting Catanzaro in the Coppa Italia before starting their Serie A campaign following last season’s promotion.
Team Analysis:
After being relegated last season, Sassuolo quickly secured promotion back to Serie A, led by coach Fabio Grosso and key players like Domenico Berardi and Armand Lauriente. They prepared for the new season with several friendlies and aim to improve on their previous Coppa Italia run.
Catanzaro, who beat Sassuolo at Mapei Stadium last season, enter the cup under new coach Alberto Aquilani. They aim to advance further than last year’s early exit, with a potential second-round match against Sudtirol or Como.
Player Situation:
Sassuolo are adding new players ahead of their match, with Sebastian Walukiewicz and Ismael Kone available despite missing out on goalkeeper Arijanet Muric. Defender Ruan Tressoldi may miss the game due to injury.
Catanzaro recently signed Milan youth talent Mattia Liberali and took Patrick Nuamah on loan from Sassuolo, who might face his parent club. Their captain Pietro Iemmello, a key scorer last season, is expected to lead the attack.
Result Prediction:
Even with some squad rotation, Sassuolo is expected to have enough quality to defeat Catanzaro and advance, potentially facing Como in the next round.
Predicted Result: Sassuolo 3-1 Catanzaro.
