Salernitana will host Sassuolo at the Stadio Arechi on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured a near-abysmal campaign and are rapidly running out of time to save their top-flight status. They were beaten 3-0 by an in-form Bologna side last time out and could have no major complaints about the result after being second-best for the majority of the game.
Salernitana sit rock-bottom in the table with just 14 points picked up so far and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend as they look to exit the drop zone.
Sassuolo have endured a grossly underwhelming campaign and now find themselves fighting for survival in the final stretch of the season. They played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese last time out, with Gregoire Defrel opening the scoring late in the first half before Florian Thauvin levelled the scores for their opponents minutes later.
The visitors sit 19th in the Serie A standings with 24 points and could exit the relegation zone with a win on Friday.

Sassuolo are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one of their last 11 league outings. They have lost their last eight games on the road but should have just enough to come out on top here.
