Our Salernitana vs Sassuolo prediction is backed up by the team playing at home having avoided defeat in each of the last five meetings. The sides played out a 2-2 draw earlier this season.

Salernitana Preview: On the brink of relegation

The hosts have injury doubts over Toma Basic, Federico Fazio and Guillermo Ochoa while forward Boulaye Dia is definitely out. Salernitana cannot be relegated this weekend but with only 14 points, it’s surely only a matter of time now.

Predicted Lineup: Costil (GK), Pellegrino, Manolas, Pirola, Pierozzi, Bradaric, Maggiore, Tchaouna, Basic, Candreva, Simy

Player to watch – Andrea Pinamonti

In the absence of Berardi, Sassuolo’s main goal threat is unquestionably forward Andrea Pinamonti. He has scored nine times in 30 Serie A appearances this season.

Pinamonti striking early

The 24 year old has tended to score early this term with a huge 78% of his goals coming in the first half hour of Serie A games. Remarkably, over half have come in the opening fifteen minutes.
