Defences could be slayed as Sassuolo head to Sardinia in Serie A tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

Monday 19:45 (Live on TNT Sports 1)

In France last night, Kev's summation of Lyon's season proved to be a wake-up call - and for one man in particular. The falling giants beat Toulouse 3-0 thanks to an Alexandre Lacazette hat trick. Kev gets a week off to decide who to fire up next.

We're starting in Italy, where one of tonight's two Serie A games brings 14th-placed Sassuolo to second-bottom Cagliari. We're hoping to see a few goals.

Cagliari's major problem is at the back. The Sardinians have conceded 14 times across seven appearances at the Unipol Domus since winning promotion back to Serie A last season. They've netted nine in five there themselves, with both teams scoring in 5/5 and 4/5 hitting Over 2.5 Goals.

Sassuolo also have defensive issues. The Neroverdi have managed no clean sheets from 14 Serie A games home and away this season. At the other end, they've scored themselves in 10/12, so BTTS has landed in 10/12 and 8/12 have reached Over 2.5 Goals in total.

Both sides look capable of exploiting each other's weaknesses in defence, so we'll take Over 2.5 Goals to land in this one.

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.834/5
