The Arechi Stadium is the setting for a mammoth relegation tie between Salernitana and Sassuolo on Friday.
The two worst teams in 19th and 20th place in Serie A will face off, with the result sure to have ramifications in the battle to avoid the drop.
Salernitana are rock bottom of the table and need a miracle in their remaining eight matches to try and secure their status in the Italian top flight. A loss here would seal their fate.
Sassuolo have a much better chance of avoiding the drop as there are just three points between them in 19th and Verona in 15th.
Current Form
Salernitana's current form
The home side has remarkably won just two league games so far this season, the last of which came at the end of December versus Verona.
They have lost 10 out of their last 12 in Serie A and last time out were swept aside by Bologna, who won 3-0.
Salernitana have by far the worst defence in the league and have conceded 62 goals in 30 games.
Sassuolo's current form
Sassuolo have won one game in their last 11 and that came against Frosinone at the start of March.
Scoring goals has been a major issue for them recently as they have found the back of the net on just four occasions in their last five Serie A games.
Team News
Federico Fazio is a definite absentee for Salernitana, and it is looking likely that Grigoris Kastanos won't recover from injury in time to feature.
Sassuolo's recent profligacy in front of goal can be attributed to the absence of star forward Domenico Berardi, who has missed the last three Serie A games. Unfortunately for the visitors, he is set to be sidelined for this one, too.
