Fiorentina vs. Sassuolo Betting Preview
After the long break to let the 2022 FIFA World Cup take center stage in Qatar, Serie A got back underway this week. Napoli suffered their first league defeat, while there were wins for the likes of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and Roma.
Neither Fiorentina nor Sassuolo managed to win in midweek, so both will be looking for maximum points from this one. The visitors have the edge when it comes to recent meetings, but Fiorentina will be looking to make home advantage count. Stay tuned for the best odds and tips in this Fiorentina vs Sassuolo game prediction.
Fiorentina Preview
The team Fiorentina are one of several clubs looking to finish Serie A in the European spots. Things are tight in Italy’s top tier right now, and the Violets are certainly in with a shout. They have work to do in the second half of the campaign, though, as Vincenzo Italiano’s men are ten points behind seventh in tenth.
Before the international break, Fiorentina were in fine form. They signed off with a narrow loss at AC Milan, but the Purples picked up five consecutive league and cup wins before that.
Fiorentina returned to action in midweek with a solid home draw with Monza. They took an early lead, but the visitors snatched a point with a goal on the hour mark.
Fiorentina have made the Stadio Artemio Franchi somewhat of a fortress this season. They have suffered just two home defeats across all competition, with only Lazio and Inter Milan leaving with all three points.
Sassuolo Preview
Sassuolo’s Serie A stats have been poor in recent months. Since back-to-back wins over Torino and Salernitana, Alessio Dionisi’s men have suffered six defeats from eight league matches.
Before the 2022 FIFA World Cup break, the Emilia-Romagna club took just one point from four fixtures. Unfortunately for Sassuolo, they then returned to action on Wednesday with a 2-1 home reverse to Sampdoria.
The Black and Greens have slipped down to 16th. They are still well clear of the bottom three, but Dionisi and his side will be looking for a win to calm the nerves sooner rather than later.
Sassuolo are the underdogs at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, but can they cause an upset and leave Tuscany with all three points?
