Overview

As the Serie A season edges closer to its conclusion, a crucial match-up looms between Sassuolo and Cagliari. Both teams are set to face off at the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, with Sassuolo playing host. With the league table positions indicating a battle at the lower end, this encounter promises to be a tense affair as both sides aim to secure vital points in their quest for survival.

Sassuolo

Sassuolo, currently sitting at 19th in the league table, has had a challenging season. With only 29 points from 36 games, their record shows 7 wins, 8 draws, and a concerning 21 losses. The goal difference stands at a negative 30, reflecting their struggles at both ends of the pitch. Their recent form hasn't shown much promise either, with a pattern of "LWLLD" in their last five games. In their last fixture, they faced a narrow defeat against Genoa with a scoreline of 2-1 despite leading at halftime. Playing at their home stadium this time around could provide them with the much-needed advantage they have been lacking.

Cagliari

Cagliari finds themselves slightly better off than their opponents in the league standings, positioned at 16th with 33 points. Their season's performance mirrors that of a team fighting for survival: 7 wins, an impressive number of 12 draws, and 17 losses. They have a slightly better goal difference than Sassuolo at -27. The team's recent form has been less than ideal, with "LDLDD" as their record in the last five matches. Their previous game ended in a heavy defeat to AC Milan, where they conceded five goals and managed to score just once. Despite these setbacks, Cagliari has shown resilience throughout the season and will look to exploit Sassuolo's vulnerabilities.
