Cagliari – Sassuolo

Cagliari host Sassuolo in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower half of the table, with the Sardinian side perched in fifth place on nine points after three wins from four games and a modest +2 goal difference. Sassuolo sit just two points behind in ninth, having collected seven points from two victories, a draw and a loss, and they boast a slightly better offensive record, scoring eight while conceding seven. The home team will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and solidify a top‑five position, whereas the visitors will aim to close the gap to the European spots by capitalising on their more potent attack. Both sides have already faced each other this season, and the result could prove decisive in shaping the final stretch of the campaign.
