Serie A

Cagliari, at the bottom of the table after four consecutive losses, must find their form vs. Sassuolo if they hope to keep pace and stave off relegation.

Bologna capitulated in the final minutes versus Lazio in a topsy-turvy tilt, while Hellas Verona got an early lead but were still dismantled by Napoli.

Atalanta woke up with a pair of solid wins and are putting pressure on the teams in front of them, including Juventus, which haven’t fared well lately.

Torino have shown their signature solidity and determination in recent bouts. Hellas Verona tailed off significantly after winning the first two tilts.

Genoa gave up a late goal to Bologna and were forced into their third draw in the past month. Torino just routed Napoli in their best seasonal display.

After a stunning relegation, Sassuolo will usher in their new cycle with coach Fabio Grosso at the helm against a perennial playoff contender in Serie B.
