On Saturday morning, struggling Cagliari hosts Sassuolo, as the home team looks to break clear of the Serie A relegation zone.
Cagliari are still right in the thick of the relegation battle, as they are currently in 17th place in the Serie A table, just three points clear of 18th place Genoa.
Walter Mazzarri’s team heads into this clash on the back of a woeful recent run of league form, which has seen the Rossoblu suffer five straight league defeats.
One of the biggest reasons for that poor recent record is Cagliari’s leaky defence, as they have now conceded at least two goals in four of those five recent defeats.
A run of just one win in their last 11 home matches in Serie A has also hampered their survival bid. A 2-1 defeat by Juventus in their last home game in the Italian top-flight means that they have also suffered three straight home defeats in Serie A.
Sassuolo has had a bit of a rollercoaster campaign. However, with just six league games remaining, the Neroverdi now look to be out of the reckoning for the European spots.
Alessio Dionisi’s team are nine points adrift of the top six heading into this weekend’s action.
The visitors have a respectable recent record in the Italian top-flight, winning five of their last seven games in Serie A, having suffered just one defeat in the process. Last time out, Sassuolo recorded a 2-1 home win over Atalanta.
The Neroverdi have an inconsistent recent away record in Serie A, having won only two of their last six matches on their travels.
The visitors have also scored at least two goals in three of their last four away matches in Serie A.
Forebet predicts that Sassuolo will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to make things very nervous for Cagliari for the next few weeks.
