The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

From what they have shown thus far this season, Sassuolo and Cesena both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.

As a result, we predict the total going under 2.5 goals to be the most attractive betting option for this upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: Sassuolo to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Sassuolo vs Cesena, where we have Sassuolo to win the first half as our best bet.

Sassuolo has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Sassuolo taking an advantage into half-time.
