Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Predictions

Viola can secure victory

Fiorentina should be backed to beat Sassuolo at home in Serie A on Sunday.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Fiorentina are 15th in Serie A with eight wins and 13 defeats from their 33 games, while Sassuolo are tenth with 13 wins and 14 losses.

Fiorentina have scored in five Serie A games in a row, including a 4-1 win over Cremonese last month. They have averaged just over a goal a game in their 16 matches against top-half teams this season.

Fiorentina have lost just one of their last nine home games in Serie A, with their only defeat in that run coming against Udinese last month.

They have kept three clean sheets in their last four home games in the league.

Sassuolo are enduring a rough spell on the road, having failed to win any of their last three Serie A away games.

Their struggles at the back are a major concern. They have conceded in each of their last ten away games in the league and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 Serie A matches. Their last shutout came against Verona back in February.

Fiorentina may be able to edge out Sassuolo in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. The last three Sassuolo games in Serie A have finished with three goals or more and nine of their 14 defeats have come by the odd goal.
