The model correctly assessed that it would not be a balanced game, and Sassuolo's slightly higher team rate (0.566 vs 0.434) and win probability (40.1% vs 32.5%) reflected their expected advantage.
Analyzing the teams' recent form, Cesena has struggled to secure victories, with several draws and a recent loss in their last five games. Their attack appears blunt considering they only scored 5 goals in their last 5 games. Sassuolo, on the other hand, has been in better form, securing multiple wins in their recent fixtures, though suffering a high-scoring defeat against Palermo. Sassuolo has scored 14 goals in their last 5 games, which shows that their attack has been great and is ready to face any defense.
Looking at their next games, Cesena faces Mantova away. Considering Cesena's recent struggles and Mantova's decent home form, including recent wins and draws, Cesena will need to improve significantly to get a positive result. Sassuolo will visit Cremonese, a team with a solid home record, but Sassuolo’s recent form indicates they will be a tough opponent. Sassuolo’s recent high-scoring games could indicate they are improving their attack to a great extend, while Cremonese’s recent draws indicate the opposite.
Considering previous head-to-head matches, Sassuolo has generally had the upper hand against Cesena, although results have been mixed. Sassuolo’s attack has been very strong compared to Cesena's attack. In contrast, Cesena has had mixed results against Mantova, with a recent high-scoring win, but also older defeats.
