Sassuolo are backed to overcome Torino when the two sides meet in Serie A on 29 August 2026, with the Neroverdi expected to earn a first league victory of the new campaign.
Both clubs have played one Serie A match so far, and each suffered a narrow defeat in their opening fixture. Sassuolo lost 2-1 to Atalanta, while Torino were beaten by the same scoreline by Milan.
The prediction for this meeting is therefore a home win for Sassuolo, who are expected to respond positively after their opening-day setback. The match will give one of the two teams an opportunity to secure its first league points of the season.
Sassuolo began their campaign in the Coppa Italia, where they were drawn against Cesena. They produced a convincing performance in that match and recorded a 3-0 victory.
That result provided Sassuolo with a positive start before their Serie A opener against Atalanta. However, the Neroverdi could not maintain that momentum against La Dea, losing 2-1 after a closely contested encounter.
The defeat was by the narrowest possible margin, leaving Sassuolo with no points from their first league fixture. Their next match against Torino represents an immediate chance to put that result behind them and move forward in the competition.
Torino also entered the season through the Coppa Italia. Their opening cup opponent was Carrarese, and the Granata secured a 1-0 win.
That success was followed by a difficult Serie A opener against Milan. Torino were unable to reproduce their cup-winning result and finished on the wrong side of another 2-1 scoreline.
Like Sassuolo, Torino have therefore played one league match and remain without a point. The difference between the teams in this preview comes from the expected outcome of their direct meeting, with Sassuolo considered more likely to take advantage of home status and secure the victory.
The forecast is for Sassuolo to beat Torino in the Serie A fixture on 29 August 2026. The recommended bet is a win for the nominal home side.

On the evidence of those results and the forecast supplied for the fixture, Sassuolo are the side being selected to take all three points.
