The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Cagliari take on an impressive Sassuolo side in an important encounter at the Sardegna Arena on Monday.

Cagliari vs Sassuolo Preview

Cagliari are currently in 19th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to cope with the rigours of the top flight this season. The home side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Neroverdi slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of AS Roma in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.

Sassuolo have an impressive squad at their disposal but have not been at their best so far this season. The likes of Andrea Pinamonti and Domenico Berardi have delivered for the Neroverdi in the past and will need to prove their mettle this week.

Cagliari are in a relegation battle at the moment and cannot afford to put a foot wrong on Monday. Sassuolo are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
