On Saturday afternoon, Fiorentina and Sassuolo go head-to-head at the Stadio Artemio Franchi as both teams look for a victory to revive their Serie A campaigns.
The Viola’s recent form has been mixed in Serie A. However, the team from Florence have won just three of their last nine matches in the Italian top flight. A 1-1 home draw against Monza last time out means that Fiorentina has taken just a point from their previous two league matches.
While all Fiorentina games of late have not been high-scoring, both teams have scored in six of their last seven league outings in Serie A.
A poor recent run of form at the Franchi has not helped the viola’s cause in Serie A, as Fiorentina have won just two of their previous seven games in the Italian top-flight.
Their recent home matches in Serie A have been relatively high-scoring, as three of their last four home games in the league have produced over 2.5 goals.
The visitors are experiencing a rare poor campaign in Serie A as they head into this clash on the back of a five-game winless run in the Italian top flight. A midweek 2-1 home defeat by Sampdoria means that Sassuolo has also lost four of their previous five matches in Serie A.
The poor recent run has led to Sassuolo slipping to 16th place in the league table. However, they are still seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Achieving away wins has been a problem for the visitors of late, as they have won just once in eight league matches on their travels.
Failing to score in three away league games has certainly been a factor in their poor away results of late.
Forebet predicts that Fiorentina will add to Sassuolo’s recent woes by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
