Latest Cagliari vs Sassuolo team news
Cagliari did not suffer any new injuries after the draw against Verona, but they are still without Andrea Belotti due to a serious knee injury, along with Nicola Pintus (thigh), Alessandro Deiola, Alessandro Di Pardo (calf), Yerry Mina (thigh) and goalkeeper Boris Radunovic.
Although Mattia Felici has equaled Belotti's goal tally to lead the team's scoring charts, he is unlikely to start this match.
Instead, Sebastiano Esposito – who didn't play last weekend – and Gennaro Borrelli are expected to lead the attack in an effort to help Cagliari end their four-match winless streak.
On Sassuolo's side, coach Fabio Grosso is grappling with a growing injury list. The status of Domenico Berardi and Filippo Romagna remains uncertain, while Daniel Boloca (muscle), Tarik Muharemovic, Edoardo Pieragnolo (knee), Laurs Skjellerup, Yeferson Paz, and Giacomo Satalino are all almost certain to be absent.
Striker Andrea Pinamonti – the only player to have scored more than one goal for Sassuolo – hopes to continue his scoring form in Thursday's away trip to Sardinia.

Latest football match prediction: Cagliari vs Sassuolo
After conceding two goals to Verona on Sunday, Fabio Pisacane was probably anticipating a similar outcome to last week, when the red and blue team were beaten 2-0 by Bologna.
However, the island team staged a strong comeback in the final 15 minutes, scoring two goals through Riyad Idrissi and Mattia Felici – who equalized 2-2 in the second minute of added time in the second half, helping Cagliari salvage a valuable point.
The 2-2 draw in Veneto further extended Cagliari's inconsistent run of form, as they have failed to win in their last four Serie A matches – two draws and two losses.
Notably, both points were earned from away matches, while at home in Sardinia they suffered 0-2 defeats against Inter Milan and Bologna.
Although Sassuolo isn't a top-of-the-table opponent like the two teams mentioned above, Cagliari entered Thursday night's match aiming for their first win at the Unipol Domus since mid-September – when they beat Parma 2-0 and then overcame Frosinone in the national cup with the same scoreline.
Securing all three points at home becomes even more crucial, as Cagliari have dominated Sassuolo in recent encounters: winning all three of their most recent matches, scoring a total of 5 goals and conceding only 1.
Sassuolo, under the guidance of coach Fabio Grosso, are having a fairly positive start to their return to Serie A. After eight rounds, they are in 13th place with 10 points – one point more than Cagliari before entering round 9.
However, Sassuolo haven't won at Cagliari's ground since September 2017. This time, they face another major challenge in their attempt to end an eight-year winless streak in Sardinia, while also looking to extend their two-match winless run at their opponent's home stadium.
In the 20 previous encounters between the two teams, half ended in a draw. Whether that scenario will repeat itself this week remains to be seen, especially considering Sassuolo have only drawn one of their eight matches this season.
Like Cagliari, Grosso's team is also showing signs of slowing down, having failed to win in their last two matches after a series of two consecutive victories against Udinese (3-1) and Verona (1-0).
Sassuolo's attack has been goalless for two consecutive rounds – a 0-0 draw against Lecce and a 0-1 defeat to Roma on Sunday. Prior to that, they had scored in five consecutive matches, so their immediate goal is to avoid a three-game goalless streak and to end their run of three consecutive defeats against Cagliari.
