Sassuolo is in eighth place with 43 points. Potentially, this team is able to fight even for the European Cup places, if it did not experience problems with the composition during the season. And now all the key players in the attack are out of action. This is Caputo, Defrel and Berardi. Sassuolo is trying to compensate somehow for these losses and at times they manage to show good results. The draw with Roma (2:2), taking into account all the losses of Sassuolo, is a success. In the match with Inter the team had good chances to score. Traore still scored one goal, but it was not enough to take points from the championship leader (1:2). We also note the away victory over Benevento (1:0). The only ball was an own goal of the opponent’s defender. After the news of the leaders’ injuries, it seemed that the situation could be much worse. But Sassuolo tries not to fall below a certain level, makes adjustments to the game and looks quite competitive.
The Hammers have one of the best seasons in the Premier League. In the last round of the Premier League, West Ham won a very important tournament victory at home. David Moyes’ team beat one of the competitors in the fight for the Leicester medals with a score of 3:2. After this success, the London club secured the fourth position in the championship standings. Chelsea’s Hammers are just one point ahead, but just one point behind Leicester. It should be noted the high performance of the team of David Moyes. In eight of the last ten league matches, they have scored at least two times per game and in five of these meetings they have scored three times. In the current championship West Ham lost only five times away and only to the top teams: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and both Manchester. Almost half of the 15 away games the London club won, while three more ended in a draw. Due to injuries, goalkeeper Darren Randolph, striker Michael Antonio, as well as defenders Aaron Cresswell and Angelo Ogbonna, midfielders Declan Rice and Andrei Yarmolenko will miss the next game at West Ham.
