The action continues in round 28 of the Italian Serie A as Cagliari and Salernitana lock horns in a bottom-of-the-table clash on Saturday.
Fabio Liverani’s men will journey to the Unipol Domus looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last five meetings since December 2015.
Cagliari picked up three huge points in their battle at the bottom end of the table as they beat Empoli 1-0 at the Estadio Carlo Castellani last Sunday.
Prior to that, Claudio Ranieri’s side were on a six-game winless run, losing four and claiming two draws since the third week of January.
Having picked up 23 points from 27 matches, Cagliari are currently in the final relegation spot, but they could rise into 13th place with all three points this weekend.
Salernitana, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium last Saturday.
Liverani’s men have now failed to taste victory in 10 back-to-back games, losing eight and picking up two draws since the turn of the year.
With 14 points from 27 matches, Salernitana are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table, nine points away from safety with 11 games left to go.
