Sassuolo are now in the relegation zone. A big six-point match against Hellas Verona awaits them in the battle for survival.
Udinese are three points above the relegation zone. They will host bottom-of-the-table Salernitana. The teams drew 1-1 earlier this season. The Granata are unbeaten in their last three Serie A games versus Udinese.
Salernitana are on a three-match losing streak in Serie A. Seven points separate the Granata from safety. Salernitana conceded the second-most goals in the league with 53 allowed.
Udinese are the draw kings of Serie A. The Zebrette drew 14 of their 26 matches. Udinese’s defence has struggled this season, conceding 40 goals.
Torino and Fiorentina will play in a top half of the table matchup. The Granata are 10th in the standings, with 36 points. Meanwhile, Fiorentina are seventh in the division with 41 points.
La Viola are unbeaten in their last three games versus Torino, including a 1-0 home win earlier this season. Fiorentina are coming off a 2-1 home win over Lazio. They’ve not played as well on the road, with just 15 of their 41 points coming away from home.
Torino lost their last two Serie A games. They scored just two goals during the last 180 minutes of football. The Granata play well at home and have a record of 6W-5D-2L and goal difference of +6.
Hellas Verona and Sassuolo will clash in a massive fixture on Sunday. A win for either team could propel them to safety. The home team won the last three head-to-head matches between these clubs. Earlier this season, Sassuolo claimed a 3-1 win at the MAPEI Stadium.
Sassuolo are 18th in the standings following an awful run of form. They took just one point from the last six matches. Sassuolo’s last two matches ended in defeat. The Neroverdi conceded the third-most goals in the league with 48.
Verona are 17th in the standings, having been in the bottom three for most of the season. Despite being out of the bottom three, Hellas Verona failed to win their last six games. Hellas scored the league’s third-fewest goals with 23.
The last two head-to-head matches with Empoli and Cagliari finished as draws. The teams played out a nil-nil draw earlier this season. The last three meetings between the clubs finished with under 2.5 goals.
Cagliari are 19th in the standings, with 20 points. They are just off safety due to goal difference. The Islanders took just four points from their 13 away matches this term.
Empoli are on a great run of form. They went unbeaten in their last six games, picking up 12 points. The Azzurri have only scored 22 times this term. Their recent run of form has come despite a lack of goals. However, Empoli won 3-2 against Sassuolo last time out.
