Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Sassuolo is 6.70, compared to 7.03 for Catanzaro. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Sassuolo's highest-rated starter is D. Berardi (7.06), while Catanzaro's best-rated player is S. Pontisso (7.28).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Sassuolo have contributed 14 goals and 14 assists this season, led by D. Berardi (7G). Catanzaro's starters account for 16 goals and 16 assists, spearheaded by P. Iemmello (10G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Sassuolo deploy 4 defenders rated 6.75 on average, against Catanzaro's 3-man backline averaging 6.82. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Sassuolo field 3 midfielders averaging 6.55, versus Catanzaro's 5 rated 7.26. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Sassuolo start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.75, compared to 2 for Catanzaro averaging 6.82. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 85% for Sassuolo and 81% for Catanzaro. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Sassuolo's starters have collected 18 yellow cards this season, compared to 29 for Catanzaro. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Sassuolo's starting XI is 24.6 (youngest: L. Lipani (20), oldest: D. Berardi (31)), while Catanzaro average 31.7 (youngest: S. Pontisso (28), oldest: N. Brighenti (36)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Sassuolo's starters average 15 league appearances each, versus 26 for Catanzaro. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
