Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Prediction
Fiorentina are winless in their last five meetings with Sassuolo, scoring six goals and conceding 11, losing three. They have scored 12 of their 19 goals this season at home and could score here.
Sassuolo, meanwhile have struggled in recent league outings, losing four of their last five. They have failed to score in three games, conceding 11 goals.
Considering Fiorentina’s recent struggles against Sassuolo and the visitors’ poor current form, a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Team News
Ahead of Saturday’s game, Fiorentina’s injury list features Argentinian forward Nicolas Gonzalez – who is soon set to resume full training – fellow winger Riccardo Sottil and midfielder Rolando Mandragora.
Long-term absentee Gaetano Castrovilli returned to action in midweek from the bench, while Morocco’s World Cup hero Sofyan Amrabat is now expected to start after his substitute appearance. A promotion for either would mean young Alessandro Bianco drops out after making his debut on Wednesday; another midfielder, Youssef Maleh, has been loaned to Lecce for the rest of the season.
Up front, Arthur Cabral is set to hold off Luka Jovic’s claims for the centre-forward role in Vincenzo Italiano’s 4-2-3-1 formation.
Meanwhile, Sassuolo will be without Mert Muldur and Maxime Lopez again this weekend, with Matheus Henrique likely to deputise for the latter once more.
