Still seeking to claim their first Serie A victory of the season, basement club Salernitana travel to Mapei Stadium to face Sassuolo on Friday night.
The Neroverdi, meanwhile, have also experienced a poor run of form in recent weeks and are hoping to avoid a sixth successive league game without a win.
We say: Sassuolo 2-1 Salernitana
Both Sassuolo and Salernitana have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their first 11 Serie A games so far this season, so goals are to be expected in this fixture between two defensively-frail teams.
The pressure is mounting on Salernitana to get their season up and running as they attempt to climb out of the drop zone, but we believe that Sassuolo have enough quality in the final third to outscore their opponents and claim maximum points.

Hellas Verona will endeavour to climb out of the Serie A relegation zone when they travel to Stadio Luigi Ferraris to face Genoa on Friday night.
While the hosts have only won one of their last five top-flight matches, the visitors are seeking to end a 10-game winless run in all competitions.
We say: Genoa 2-1 Hellas Verona
A closely-fought contest between two evenly-matched teams who are both desperate to return to winning ways could be on the cards on Friday.
Three of the last four meetings between these two clubs have ended as a draw, but we believe that Genoa will do just enough to claim maximum points against a defensively-vulnerable Verona outfit.
