Sassuolo have been putting in some impressive performances ahead of another winnable game against their mid-table rivals Cagliari, whose own results have been hit and miss of late.

Match Preview

The home side have found a rich vein of form ahead of our Sassuolo vs Cagliari preview and they can leapfrog their opponents on Sunday with a victory at the MAPEI Stadium. Eusebio Di Francesco’s team are unbeaten in six Serie A fixtures, a run that has seen them shoot up the table.

• Sassuolo 2-2 Napoli
• Empoli 1-3 Sassuolo
• Sassuolo 2-2 Fiorentina
• Inter 1-2 Sassuolo

Cagliari have won three and lost three of their last six games, in a run of fixtures that can only be described as “kind“ – only one of Cagliari’s seven last Serie A opponents were from the league’s top ten. So while three wins from six might seem like a decent return for a mid-table side at first glance, our Sassuolo vs Cagliari predictions take into account who those wins came against.

Cagliari have only won three times on the road in Serie A this season and the Rossoblu have the worst defensive record of any side outside the league’s bottom three.

• Udinese 2-1 Cagliari
• Cagliari 1-0 Pescara
• Napoli 3-1 Cagliari
• Cagliari 3-2 Empoli

Sassuolo vs Cagliari Prediction and Betting Advice

Cagliari beat Sassuolo 4-3 in a thrilling encounter when the sides last met before Christmas and while that result was notable, a repeat of that scoreline is probably unlikely. We should expect goals on Sunday however and that opinion is reflected in our Sassuolo vs Cagliari picks. Sassuolo haven’t kept a clean sheet in thirteen games while Cagliari have only failed to score once in their last eight.

Sassuolo will be buoyed by their win at Inter last time out and with striker Pietro Lemmello in fine form, they should have the edge on Sunday over visiting Cagliari.
