The Coppa Italia round-of-32 match between Sassuolo and Frosinone will take place on 2 September at the MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore. Both teams head into the fixture after Serie A victories and will look to continue their positive run in the cup competition.
Sassuolo: victory over Torino has boosted confidence
Alberto Aquilani's side began their Coppa Italia campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Cesena before losing 2-1 to Atalanta in the opening round of Serie A. They bounced back in the following match, when goals from Cristian Volpato and Domenico Berardi secured a 2-1 victory over Torino.
Sassuolo can now win two consecutive competitive matches for the first time under their new coach. The hosts have plenty of attacking options available, although several players remain sidelined.

Giorgi Kvernadze remains the main threat, having scored twice and provided an assist in the Coppa Italia before registering another goal contribution against Fiorentina. With an almost fully fit squad, the visitors are certainly capable of giving the hosts a serious challenge.
