Venue (City, Stadium) | Reggio Emilia, MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore |
Sassuolo host Torino at the MAPEI Stadium on Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Serie A season, with both sides hunting their first points after opening-day defeats. This one has the makings of a proper scrap.
Sassuolo went down 2-1 away at Atalanta on their return, but there were plenty of positives, not least a round-high shot count and a first-ever Serie A goal for defender Cas Odenthal.
Torino also lost 2-1, at home to AC Milan, in a game that summed up their attacking struggles. Ignazio Abate's side need a sharper edge going forward if they are to turn this fixture their way.
The head-to-head record favours the visitors, and you can weigh up the market for Sassuolo vs Torino as both managers chase a first win of the campaign.
Sassuolo vs Torino Form
Sassuolo have lost each of their last four Serie A outings, all by a single goal, so the margins are fine rather than damning. Their opener at Atalanta brought a round-high 22 shots, with Armand Laurienté top of the pile across the division on six attempts. Cas Odenthal chipped in with his first top-flight goal.
Torino sit just below Sassuolo in the table and arrive off the back of that 2-1 home defeat to AC Milan. Worryingly, they managed only seven shots, tied for the fewest on the opening weekend. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of Torino's last four Serie A games, and they have shipped at least two in five of their last six.

Duván Zapata over 1.5 shots is next. He has managed 2+ shots in seven of his last eight appearances against Sassuolo in Serie A, a consistent record worth leaning on.

The big talking point is a clash of styles. Sassuolo create chances for fun but keep letting themselves down at both ends, none more glaring than conceding after just five minutes and 17 seconds at Atalanta, the fastest goal shipped on the opening weekend. Torino, meanwhile, need to find a cutting edge after mustering only seven shots against AC Milan. Something has to give, and with Sassuolo firing off volume and Torino's back line creaking, the goals could flow at the MAPEI Stadium.
