Sassuolo’s recent form across all competitions stands at DLWDD, reflecting a side that remains competitive in attack but fragile during high-turnover defensive phases. Conceding 1.6 goals per game highlights a systemic issue in repelling secondary attacks and set-piece opportunities. Compounding their tactical friction is a severe list of defensive and midfield absentees, severely limiting their rotation capability over 90 minutes.
