Cagliari will face Sassuolo at the Unipol Domus on Thursday in another round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The home side enjoyed a positive start to their season but have endured a difficult spell of late and now sit 14th in the table, five points above the drop zone.
They, however, picked up a good point in their 2-2 draw away at Hellas Verona at the weekend, finding themselves two goals down at the hour mark before Riyad Idrissi and Mattia Felici got on the scoresheet to secure a point for Fabio Pisacane’s men.
Sassuolo have had their struggles upon returning to the top-flight this season, but can be proud of the work they have done so far. They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Roma last time out and could have few complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
The visitors sit a place and a point above their midweek opponents in the league table and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Thursday.
Cagliari vs Sassuolo Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

- The two teams last faced off in a league clash last May, which the hosts won 2-0 to register a third consecutive victory in the fixture.

Cagliari vs Sassuolo Prediction
Gli Isolani are winless in their last four matches, with two of those games ending in defeat. They have lost their last two home games by an aggregate scoreline of 4-0 and will be desperate for a positive result on Thursday.
I Neroverdi’s latest result ended a three-game unbeaten streak, and they will now be looking to put out a response this week. They will be without the services of a few key players this week due to injuries, but have enough quality within their ranks to pick up a point here.
Prediction: Cagliari 1-1 Sassuolo
