Atalanta 4-1 Sassuolo
Inter 3-3 Sassuolo

Did they recently hire Zeman or Bielsa?
I was just thinking that Sassuolo is one to watch out for regarding that last EL spot. There's been talk of Verona, Bologna, Parma and even Cagliari....but nobody has mentioned Sassuolo who have been impressive lately and have come back within reach of that 7th position.
Also, on that last EL spot.....someone correct me if i'm wrong....but Napoli gets in the EL Group Stage directly due to their Copa Italia win. The next highest placed team goes straight to the play offs. The 3rd team goes to the 2nd Preliminary round (they have to play in the 2nd preliminary, 3rd preliminary, and the play offs).
So with that in mind, in order to avoid that 2nd Preliminary Round, we need to finish ahead of Roma.
1) Finish 5th
2) Finish 6th BUT Napoli has to finish 5th. If Roma finishes 5th and Napoli 7th, Roma gets that play off spot and we still have to go through to the preliminary rounds due
