A Friday evening battle at the bottom of the Serie A table sees relegation candidates Sassuolo desperately fight for points away to Serie B bound Salernitana.
The match between the Granata and the Neroverdi kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno.
Salernitana have been disastrous in Serie A this season and find themselves rock bottom of the league table with eight matches left to play, almost certainly confirming their spot in the second division next term.
The Campania outfit are without Toma Basic, Grigoris Kastanos, Federico Fazio and Guillermo Ochoa, all of whom are out injured.
Sassuolo have been uncharacteristically poor this season and are at serious risk of slipping down to Serie B, sitting 19th in the table with 24 points, one behind 17th place Frosinone and three behind 16th place Cagliari.
The Neroverdi cannot count on the injured Domenico Berardi and Marcus Pedersen, with the former a key loss for the Reggio-Emilia outfit.
When these two teams met back in November, Salernitana held Sassuolo to a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Mapei Stadium.
Salernitana (4-3-3): Pierozzi; Manolas, Pirola, Bradaric; Maggiore, Coulibaly, Gomis; Candreva, Ikwuemesi, Tchaouna.
