-------------------------------------------------------
Salernitana - LLDLLL
Federico Fazio (unknown injury), Toma Bašić (unknown injury), Norbert Gyömbér (unknown injury), Guillermo Ochoa (unknown injury) and Grigoris Kastanos (Knee injury) will not be taking part for Salernitana gaffer Stefano Colantuono.
We are thinking that I granata will possibly opt for a 4-4-1-1 system for this one and select Benoit Costil, Niccolo Pierozzi, Konstantinos Manolas, Lorenzo Pirola, Alessandro Zanoli, Loum Tchaouna, Mateusz Legowski, Giulio Maggiore, Domagoj Bradaric, Antonio Candreva and C. Ikwuemesi.
Salernitana will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 Serie A defeat last time out to Bologna.
In that match, Salernitana managed 30% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Bologna got 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Riccardo Orsolini (14'), Alexis Saelemaekers (44') and Charalambos Lykogiannis (92') scored for Bologna.
Salernitana haven’t made the most of their chances in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 3 against opposing sides over the course of their last 6 fixtures. In those games, Salernitana have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 15.
Looking at their past form shows that Salernitana:
Have not been beaten in the league by Sassuolo in their last 2 matches.
Are without a home win in the past 8 league matches. Such a poor run.
Sassuolo - LLLWLD
Sassuolo manager Davide Ballardini has not got a full squad to pick from. Marcus Pedersen (unknown injury) and Domenico Berardi (Achilles tendon surgery) are not able to play.
We believe Sassuolo appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Andrea Consigli, M. Holmgren Pedersen, Mattia Viti, Gian Marco Ferrari, Josh Doig, Uros Racic, Daniel Boloca, Gregoire Defrel, Kristian Thorstvedt, Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti.
In their previous game, Sassuolo drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Udinese.
In that match, Sassuolo managed 60% possession and 14 shots on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Sassuolo was Grégoire Defrel (41'). On the other side, Udinese had 12 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Florian Thauvin (44') scored for Udinese.
Looking at their form, and Sassuolo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 12 goals in total. At the back, Sassuolo have been far from perfect. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, however.
Leading up to this clash, Sassuolo:
Haven't beaten Salernitana in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
Have not won away from home in their last 9 matches in the league. What a terrible run of away results.
Salernitana vs Sassuolo Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*There have been 12 meetings between Salernitana and Sassuolo. The hosts have won three of those games while the visitors have won double that tally with their other three matchups ending in draws.
*The visitors are winless in their last two games in this fixture after winning five of their previous six.

Prediction: Salernitana 1-2 Sassuolo
The visitors are certainly far from their best, and have been throughout the entirety of the Serie A campaign thus far, but even without their talisman Berardi, Sassuolo do have the superior quality to get past the basement side on Friday and take a huge step towards survival with a return to winning ways on Friday.
