Serie A Preview: Hellas Verona vs. Sassuolo
Eusebio Di Francesco begins a new experience on the Verona bench and he does so against his old club Sassuolo, who debut under coach Alessio Dionisi.
Manuel Locatelli left the Neroverdi for Juventus, with reports Domenico Berardi is also pushing for an exit from the Mapei Stadium, but might not be 100 per cent fit for this Serie A opener anyway.
Stat fact: Sassuolo have won each of their last three Serie A trips to Hellas Verona.
