Down at the bottom of the table in Serie A, this game is as big as it gets. On Sunday, in the first game of the day, we have Sassulo at home, currently in the relegation zone, and they welcome Cagliari, currently outside and one of the teams that Sassuolo are trying to chase down.
Sassuolo Form GuideTwo weeks ago, Sassuolo grabbed a massive win over Inter Milan and that is all which is keeping this team alive right now. But they've lost since then, they are in 19th with 29 points and that means they are three behind Frosinone and four off Cagliari and Udinese, all of which are currently outside of the relegation zone.
As mentioned Sassuolo lost last weekend, a 2-1 narrow loss away from home against Genoa. Before that, their big win over Inter Milan, though of course, Inter had a big championship celebration hangover, but that doesn't matter to Sassuolo, who need more points like those three they took in that game.
Cagliari Form GuideA draw or better here for Cagliari, and they'll know that Sassuolo can't catch them as we go into the final day. But of course, Empoli could, they're in the relegation zone and just one point behind Cagliari, so it's still all to play for with them, and points are needed from the final two games.
Cagliari have failed to win any of their last five games, but they've taken three points from draws in that period, to keep their heads above water for now. Those draws have been good, against Inter Milan, Juventus and Lecce, but a win would have seen them safe I think, even if not mathematically.
Match PredictionThis is a big game, Sassuolo must win, Cagliari would like one, but don't have to get one. I think neither team will take the three points here, and a draw looks to be the best bet, a big game where they both cancel each other out.
