Sassuolo - Torino

Both sides enter this matchday 2 clash looking to rectify opening weekend setbacks in Serie A. Sassuolo host Torino at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore on 29 August 2026, aiming to bounce back after a narrow 2-1 defeat against Atalanta. The expected XI for the home side features Arijanet Muric in goal, with Armand Lauriente and Cristian Volpato tasked with dictating the midfield tempo. A strong start is vital for the hosts as they look to build on their earlier Coppa Italia victory over Cesena.

Torino arrive following a 2-1 loss to AC Milan, a result that leaves them hungry for a response. The visitors are expected to field Giovanni Simeone up front, supported by the creative efforts of Nikola Vlasic and Cesare Casadei. History suggests a tight affair, as Torino claimed a 2-1 victory in their most recent meeting on 8 May 2026.
