Reeling squad US Sassuolo Calcio (5-11-3, 18 points) will look to snap a four-game winless slide as they square off with bottom three team US Citta di Palermo (2-13-4, 10 points) in a 2016-2017 Serie A season match on Sunday, Jan. 15 at their home field of Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 9:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Sassuolo has been winless in their last four outings as the team is currently settled in the 16th spot of the 20-team Italian top flight table. They are only eight points above the bottom three relegation area presently occupied by Palermo, Crotone, and Pescara.
The team has struggled all season and is a long 18 points below fifth-place team AC Milan and the final Europa League qualifying berth for next season.
In their most recent fixture last Sunday also at their home ground of Città del Tricolore, I Neroverdi was held to a 0-0 tie by middling squad Torino FC, as per SkySports.
The draw actually snapped a three-game losing slide for head coach Eusebio Di Francesco's boys as they try to go back to winning form.
Meanwhile, Palermo is also struggling this season with only two wins to boot after 19 rounds of competitions. They are on a two-game winless run and has only won once in their last six matches to remain in the 18th place in the overall standings.
The Rosanero is coming off a sorry 0-1 defeat in the hands of fellow lowly team Empoli on the road at the Carlo Castellani Stadium last Saturday to snap a two-game unbeaten run, the Daily Star reported.
Empoli forward Massimo Maccarone scored the lone goal of the contest with a penalty kick in the 78th minute to hand head coach Eugenio Corini's side their 13th loss of the season.
