Cagliari could leave the relegation zone in Serie A if they defeat Sassuolo in round 15's action at Sardegna Arena on Monday night.
Claudio Ranieri's team have lost two of their last three games, while the Neroverdi have picked up one victory in five league rounds.
In isolation, neither defeat suits long-term goals, but the club from Sardinia stood little chance against the title contenders and Maurizio Sarri's team, meaning they should not be too downbeat after those losses.
Losing in the capital last weekend ended Cagliari's six-game scoring run, an eventuality that possibly occurred because they were reduced to 10 men at the Olimpico.
Ranieri's side must stay disciplined to give themselves a chance against Sassuolo and hope their leaky backline is competent in Sardinia as they seek a return to winning after recent losses against league heavyweights.
They hold a six-game undefeated run over the Neroverdi in Serie A, with the last meeting between these teams in Serie A ending 1-0 to Cagliari in April 2022.
