Cagliari and Sassuolo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.

Sassuolo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
