Sassuolo 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Sassuolo are 10th and have already beaten Juventus 3-2 at the MAPEI, which is the kind of afternoon that defines a season at this level. Alberto Aquilani’s side have also lost at Atalanta and at Monza, and nine goals scored with nine conceded is a fair summary of how open they are.
Vasilije Adzic leads the scoring with three, and Armand Lauriente has taken 11 corners. Arijanet Muric has made 21 saves but has yet to keep a clean sheet in five games, which is the single number Aquilani will want to change.
Eleventh and 49 points last season was a solid enough return, and this start is comparable. Sassuolo have never been a side that defends its way to safety; as long as the goals keep coming at both ends, mid-table looks the likeliest destination.

Sassuolo’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Vasilije Adzic
- Free-Kicks: Domenico Berardi, Vasilije Adzic
- Corners: Armand Laurienté, Domenico Berardi
Armand Laurienté has taken 11 of Sassuolo’s corners to Domenico Berardi’s 6. Domenico Berardi has had one of the direct free-kicks. Sassuolo are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Vasilije Adzic, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
