Sassuolo – Cagliari

Sassuolo host Cagliari in what promises to be a tightly contested Serie A clash, with the home side sitting ninth on 7 points after two wins, a draw and a loss, and a narrow 8‑7 goal margin. Cagliari arrive in the north‑east in fifth place, boasting 9 points from three victories and a solitary defeat, and a solid 4‑2 defensive record. The gap between the two teams is slim, but Cagliari’s unbeaten run in their last three league outings gives them a psychological edge. Historically, the two sides have split their recent meetings, so the result could swing either way as Sassuolo look to close the two‑point gap and Cagliari aim to extend their push for a European spot.
