Serie A: Sassuolo vs. Pisa – Confirmed line-ups and live updates
Fabio Grosso has stuck with an unchanged Sassuolo side for Monday evening’s Serie A clash against 17th-placed Pisa, who have not lost in any of their last five league fixtures.
A win for Sassuolo this evening could see them jump into eighth place in the Serie A table, one point above Lazio and one point behind Juventus. Pisa sit one point and one place above the relegation zone before kick-off, but have no risk of dropping back into the bottom three in this round of fixtures.
The Neroverdi are unchanged after their encouraging 3-0 win away against Atalanta prior to the international break. Andrea Pinamonti leads the line with support off the wings from Domenico Berardi and Alieu Fadera.
Pisa, who are unbeaten across their last five in Serie A, have made a handful of alterations following their 1-0 win over Cremonese before the international break, but Mbala Nzola keeps his place up front.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 GMT.
