Sassari beat Mestre 87-74 in a Serie A2 fixture on 10 October 2026. The visitors took the result to the road, leaving the hosts further down the table. It was a straightforward evening for the away side, who did not travel to make up the numbers.
Mestre sit 14th after 36 games, with 14 wins and 22 defeats. Their recent run has not been kind: a 49-88 loss to Livorno last week followed a 79-57 win over Turin. They have been second to everything of late, and the result did nothing to change that.
Sassari's away form has been more consistent. They lost 72-81 to Montecatini on 4 October, then beat Milan 70-68 on the 27th. We had given an away win at 72 per cent confidence, and the numbers backed it up. The visitors found a way through when it mattered.
There are no shot statistics or possession figures to dissect here. The scoreline tells you enough: Sassari controlled the tempo, Mestre dug in but could not hold the lead for long. By then the gap was already too wide.
The result leaves Mestre deeper in the lower half, still chasing something to turn things around. Sassari move on, one step closer to what they are aiming for. Not much else to say about it.
