&lt;p&gt;Massive points up for grabs at the Mapei Stadium at lunchtime: second-to-last Sassuolo must win to move out of the relegation zone momentarily at least and take advantage of the other weekend’s six-pointer between Udinese and Empoli, scheduled for 15:00 CEST.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cagliari must also win, as they have a four-point lead over the Neroverdi, but are still only one place above the relegation zone.
