Sassuolo – Fiorentina

Match analysis

Sassuolo host Fiorentina in what promises to be a decisive clash for the league’s lower half. The home side sit ninth with seven points from four games – two wins, a draw and a loss – and a slender +1 goal difference (8‑7). Fiorentina, languishing in 15th place, have managed only three points, all from a solitary victory, while their defence has leaked 11 goals compared with just five scored. With Sassuolo looking to consolidate a top‑ten position and the Florentines desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone, the encounter could prove pivotal for both campaigns.
