All you need to know about Sassuolo vs Cagliari

Goals expected in this Coppa Italia tie

Last time out Sassuolo played host to Verona but failed to get anything out of the game. The home side found themselves 2-0 down at the break and although Scamacca and Defrel both scored in the second half, Verona also scored twice to wrap up a 4-2 victory. That result leaves Sassuolo sitting 12th in the Serie A table in what has been a frustrating campaign for their fans. However, a good run in the cup can change a team's fortunes and that is what the home side will be hoping for.

Sassuolo Predicted Lineup: Consigli, Chiricheș, Toljan, Ferrari, Kiriakopoulos, Rogério, Müldür, Lopez, Frattesi, Scamacca & Raspadori

Cagliari made the trip to the capital to face Roma in their last game. A solitary first-half penalty from Oliveira proved enough to win the game for the home side and left Cagliari sitting in the relegation zone. Cagliari sit 2pts behind Venezia but have played a game more so will have to put a decent run together if they want to escape the drop zone anytime soon. The cup can either prove a welcome distraction or just an extra fixture that a team doesn't need when in the midst of a relegation battle and it will be interesting to see how Wednesday's guests treat it.

Cagliari Predicted Lineup: Cragno, Goldaniga, Lykogiannis, Altare, Zappa, Carboni, Marin, Pereiro, Deiola, Pavoletti & Pedro

Team News

Sassuolo: Henrique, Magnanelli, Peluso, Traorè, Djuricic, Obiang and Romagna all look set to miss this cup tie.

Cagliari: Grassi, Lovato, Oliva, Aresti, Bellanova, Ceter, Baldé, Strootman, Walukiewicz and Rog are all injury concerns for the visitors.
