Sassuolo at home against Salernitana – Sunday – 3:00pm GMT – The MAPEI Stadium.

It’s a trip to the MAPEI Stadium for eleventh placed Sassuolo on Sunday, as they take on thirteenth placed Salernitana.

Sassuolo arrive at this meeting, having secured nine points so far this season

Sassuolo have dropped all six points in their last two games, a disappointing run of form, which Alessio Dionisi will be keen to turn around in this fixture.

Also, with three draws in five meetings, Sassuolo need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. With an eleventh position in the league and 2 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws, they currently have nine points in the League having won two meetings, drawn three games, and lost two fixtures.

Sassuolo have won one game, drawn one game, and lost one game of their three League matches at home this season.

Winning this fixture will see Sassuolo on 12 points.

Sassuolo are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Alessio Dionisi is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without five of his key players.

Salernitana’s campaign so far has seen them accrue seven points this season

The warning signs are there for Davide Nicola going into this game, following a loss to Lecce in their last game and a draw against Juventus before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.

Also, Salernitana are quickly becoming the Serie A’s draw specialists, having recorded four in their last six meetings. Now they have 1 matches won, 2 games lost and 4 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in thirteenth place, with a total of seven points having won one game, drawn four matches, and lost two fixtures.

Salernitana will travel to Sassuolo with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with three draws.

A win in this fixture, would take Salernitana’s points from 7 to 10, so far this season.

Salernitana are missing two players through injury or illness. This will affect Davide Nicola’s selection choices significantly.
