The club from Salerno is the main underperformer of the current season in the Italian Serie A. After 30 matches played, the team has only two victories to its name, and conceding 62 goals stands as the worst record among all teams in the league. Needless to say, Salernitana is hopelessly at the bottom of the league table, and several changes in coaches haven’t helped improve their situation. Recently, the team has been led by former youth department head Stefano Colantuono, but he has little time left – they are 11 points behind the 17th position, which could potentially save them.
Sassuolo is positioned next to their upcoming opponent in the Italian top flight table, but they have decent chances of retaining their place in the elite league. After losing to Roma, the team drew with Udinese and is only one point behind Empoli and Frosinone, who are higher in the standings. Sassuolo’s schedule isn’t easy, but Ballardini’s team will surely fight until the end.
