Sassuolo
The championship for Sassuolo has turned out so badly that the team is one step away from relegation. The team is penultimate in the standings, the gap from the passing 17th place is three points. It seemed that the club is about to improve, and will be able to avoid relegation, however, now the chances of staying in the league do not look high.
In the last round lost away to Genoa with a score of 1:2, the defeat is a shame, because they played better than the opponent. This loss was the third in four confrontations. Only a perfect finish and misfires of competitors will allow to stay in the elite of Italian soccer.
Cagliari
Sardinians are also fighting for survival, the team is located on the 16th line, the gap from the departure zone is only one point. In the last round Cagliari failed in the away against Milan - 1:5. The team brought its winless streak to five matches, for this stretch managed to score only three points.
The fight for survival is very tight, every point scored can be decisive, failure of the end can cost a place in Serie A next season. Cagliari urgently need to interrupt their series of failures, the opponent has a difficult season, although motivation will be off the charts.
