Sassuolo

LLDWLW

Sassuolo will come into the meeting after a 2-1 Serie A win to beat Como in their last game.

The numbers tell their own story, and Sassuolo have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in all. Defensively, Sassuolo seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. In any event, we must now wait to see if that trend will be replicated in this upcoming match.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Sassuolo:

• have not beaten Fiorentina when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 3 matches in the league.

↔️ Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels stretching back to 26/02/2022, there has been little to separate the clubs with Fiorentina winning 3 of those games, Sassuolo 3 and 0 being draws in normal time.

A sum of 21 goals were scored between them in this period, with 12 from La Viola and 9 coming from Sassuolo. The average goals per game has been 3.5.

The previous league encounter featuring these clubs was Serie A match day 14 on 06/12/2025 and the score finished Sassuolo 3-1 Fiorentina.

That time, Sassuolo managed 40% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Goals were scored by Cristian Volpato (14'), Tarik Muharemović (45') and Ismaël Koné (65').

Fiorentina got 9 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Rolando Mandragora (9') scored.

The referee was Luca Pairetto.

📰 Team News: Fiorentina

Robin Gosens (Hamstring injury), Niccolò Fortini (Lumbago), Fabiano Parisi (Foot bruise) and Moise Kean (Rest) won’t be available for Fiorentina manager Paolo Vanoli. Marin Pongracic will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are thinking that La Viola will probably opt for a 4-3-3 system this time, handing starts to David de Gea, Dodo, Daniele Rugani, Luca Ranieri, Luis Balbo, Rolando Mandragora, Nicolo Fagioli, Cher Ndour, Manor Solomon, Roberto Piccoli and Albert Gudmundsson.

🗞️ Team News: Sassuolo

Sassuolo manager Fabio Grosso has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Darryl Bakola (unknown injury), Edoardo Pieragnolo (Cruciate ligament injury), Daniel Boloca (Arthroscopy) and Fali Candé (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play. Domenico Berardi is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are inclined to think that Sassuolo will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Arijanet Muric, S. Walukiewicz, Tarik Muharemovic, Jay Idzes, Ulisses Garcia, Ismael Kone, Nemanja Matic, Kristian Thorstvedt, Cristian Volpato, Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Lauriente.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Sassuolo could find themselves struggling to find the net against this Fiorentina outfit who we think should score & stay on top.

Therefore, we predict a good tussle with a 1-0 win for Fiorentina at the end of this one.

Let’s see.
