Sassuolo vs Cagliari Prediction & Match Preview

Sassuolo vs Cagliari Prediction

• Sassuolo dispatched Inter Milan 1-0 in their last home match.
• Cagliari have won just 1 of 18 league outings away from home this season.
• The Rossoblu shipped eight goals in the previous two away defeats.

Sassuolo will try and catch the last train in their battle for the top-flight survival on Sunday. They host Cagliari in a massive six-pointer in the first game of the day at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.

The hosts are currently second from bottom in the league standings. They are three points shy of the safe zone with just two games remaining. The Neroverdi got unlucky to drop points in a 1-2 comeback defeat away at Genoa last weekend. They missed numerous high-profile scoring opportunities on the occasion.

Cagliari are also in big danger. They currently have only four points more than Sassuolo. They are also one point above the likes of Frosinone and Empoli. A defeat here could push them straight into the drop zone. The Rossoblu suffered a tough 1-5 defeat at the hands of AC Milan last Saturday.

Both teams have been struggling to pick up results in recent weeks. Sassuolo lost three of the last four league games. However, they did beat new champions Inter Milan 1-0 in the previous home match.

The Neroverdi also produced a strong display despite the loss in the last weekend’s outing at Genoa. They have done well in recent home fixtures, losing just one of the previous five. It is a nice run if we know they’ve faced the likes of AC Milan and Inter Milan in the process.

Cagliari are winless in five straight league games. They have won just one away match since the beginning of the season. Claudio Ranieri’s men conceded eight goals in the previous two away defeats to Genoa and AC Milan. Lastly,

Cagliari have managed to beat Sassuolo just once in the previous ten visits to MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore. We will take the home win bet as the main option at the 2.35 odds.

Andrea Pinamonti is Sassuolo’s top scorer this season with 11 goals to his name. The Italian forward was on target in the last weekend’s defeat at Genoa. He also takes penalties for the Neroverdi. Cagliari conceded eight goals in the previous two league fixtures on the road.

This is the biggest game of the season for Sassuolo. They play at home against a leaky and out-of-form defence. We see the value in backing their top scorer to find the back of the net at the attractive 3.00 odds.
