We have four Serie A games on Saturday and the first of those to kick off is a big relegation clash, featuring a team inside the relegation zone, and one on the outside. Sassuolo are the hosts, in the bottom three, and they welcome Frosinone, a team two places above it, and just one point away from real danger.
Sassuolo Form GuideSassuolo are in desperate need of points, with 11 games to go in the league they have 20 on the board so far. That leaves them in 19th position in the standings and three away from Verona, who are on the outside of the drop zone. But they come here on the back of losing their last four games in a row, and to make that worse, they are without a win from their last eight games, taking just one point in that period.
Last weekend, they lost a big relegation game, losing 1-0 away at Verona, the team who as I mentioned are outside of the relegation zone. And before that, they suffered a really heavy defeat, losing 6-1 at home against Napoli, so for me, Sassuolo have a bit to prove right now.
Frosinone Form GuideFour points ahead of Sassuolo you will find Frosinone in the standings, with 24 points. That means they are four ahead of Sassuolo, but only one ahead of Cagliari who are in the relegation zone. After a nice start to life in Serie A, we've seen Frosinone slowly fall down the standings, and I've been calling them as potential relegation candidates for some time now.
They did pick up a point at the weekend, with a 1-1 tie at home with Lecce. Before that, Juventus, Roma, Fiorentina and AC Milan, all won against Frosinone, and that run of no points is what has taken them closer to the danger zone.
Match PredictionThis is a massive game at the bottom, and if either team can take three points, then it will be a huge boost for them. However, I don't think either will, I think the game will end in a draw, with both teams taking a point.
