Cagliari vs Sassuolo – Cagliari will play ninth-placed Sassuolo at the Sardegna Arena in their first Serie A match of the season on Saturday.

Last week, the hosts lost their fifth league match in a succession after surrendering a one-goal lead against Juventus to lose 1-2 at home. In 17th place in the rankings, they are still three points above the relegation zone, but 18th-placed Venezia have a game in hand.

Sassuolo got back on track with a 2-1 victory over Atalanta thanks to a brace from Hamed Traorè. They still have a tiny chance of qualifying for European events next season, but they must win all six of their remaining games.
