Sassuolo vs Torino prediction, H2H and probable lineups – December 21, 2025
One of the matches of Serie A's 16th round will take place on Sunday at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, where Sassuolo hosts Torino. I’m backing a bet on low scoring in this clash, with solid odds for success.
Match preview
Since returning to the top flight, Sassuolo continues to rack up points and pull off surprising results against stronger opponents. In the previous round, the team battled AC Milan at San Siro, earning a 2-2 draw and once again showing their grit in the dying minutes.
The Neroverdi are traditionally dangerous in the final half-hour — more than half of their goals this season have come in that stretch. They've already beaten the likes of Lazio and Atalanta and look comfortable as a mid-table side with ambitions for more.
Torino finally snapped a six-game winless streak by edging Cremonese with a narrow victory. That win was a much-needed breath of fresh air, allowing them to pull slightly clear of the lower reaches of the table.
However, their away form remains a major weakness — just 6 points from 7 games and not a single away win since September. Heading to Reggio Emilia, the Granata still have lineup issues, and it's unlikely they’ll dominate this matchup.
Probable lineups
- Sassuolo: Muric, Walukiewicz, Izdes, Muharemovic, Doig, Vrancs, Matic, Kone, Volpato, Pinamonti, Laurienté
- Torino: Israel, Tameze, Maripan, Ismajli, Pedersen, Casadei, Asllani, Vlasic, Lazaro, Adams, Zapata
Match facts and head-to-head
- Eight of the eleven meetings between these teams at the Mapei Stadium have ended in a draw.
- Sassuolo have won just 4 of 22 Serie A matches against Torino.
- Torino have not won away from home since September, earning only 6 points in 7 road games.
Prediction
Both teams have a tendency to draw in their head-to-head encounters, especially in Reggio Emilia. Sassuolo know how to step up as the game progresses, but Torino have gained a bit of confidence after their recent win. The smart pick here is Under 2.5 goals at 1.68.
