Sassuolo will host Salernitana at the Mapei Stadium on Sunday afternoon in another round of the 2022-23 Italian Serie A campaign.
The Neroverdi have endured a rather sluggish start to their league campaign and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the league table. However, they returned to winning ways in their last game, beating Torino 1-0 via an Agustin Álvarez winner, with the Uruguayan striker coming off the bench to score his first-ever goal for the club.
Sassuolo sit 11th in the league table with nine points from seven games and will aim to add to that tally when they play this weekend.
Salernitana have had a similarly difficult start to their season, kicking off with a first-round exit from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Serie B side Parma. They were beaten 2-1 by newly-promoted Lecce in their last league outing and had seemed set to come away with a point before their opponents clinched the winner seven minutes from time.
The visitors sit two places and two points behind their weekend opponents in the league standings. They can leapfrog them with maximum points on Sunday and will be looking to do just that.
