Cagliari – Sassuolo : Preview & Prediction
Cagliari’s performances over the past month and a half have left coach Walter Mazzarri worried. In fact, the current 17th-placed team is under pressure as they could fall into the relegation zone if they lose to Sassuolo this weekend. Joao Pedro’s team-mates (12 goals) have been in a complete slump for the last five games, with no points to show for it. Cagliari has lost 5 times in the last 5 games against Lazio Rome (0-3), Spezia (2-0), AC Milan (0-1), Udinese (5-1) and Juventus Turin (1-2) on April 9th. Cagliari have conceded 13 goals in their last five games, which is a major concern going into the final round. Sassuolo are on a roll with 17 points from 24, including five wins in Lombardy against Inter Milan (2-0), Fiorentina (2-1), Venice (4-1), Spezia (4-1) and Atalanta Bergamo (2-1) on 10 April. In the last two months of the championship, Dionisi’s team has only lost once, on 2 April at Lazio Rome (2-1). After such results, Sassuolo, 9th, still believes in a European place despite being 9 points behind.
Cagliari are 17th and first non-relegated with a narrow 3 point lead.
Sassuolo are in ninth place and still have hopes of a European place at the end of the season.
