Sassuolo vs Fiorentina – In Serie A’s Saturday evening kickoff, Sassuolo hosts in-form Fiorentina at the Mapei Stadium, looking to build on a spectacular triumph last weekend.
The teams meet with the hosts having beaten Inter at San Siro but without a home league win since mid-December, while the Viola travels to Reggio-Emilia after three straight victories. Last Saturday, Sassuolo stunned reigning champions Inter Milan by defeating them 0-2 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
I Neroverdi were led by Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca, who will be looking forward to a more relaxed schedule after this weekend’s match against Fiorentina.
In their last three games, Sassuolo have faced Juventus, Roma, and Inter Milan in various competitions. They have done pretty well in each of these matchups, even considering the 2-1 setback to Juventus in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal. The club headed by Alessio Dionisi will now face top-half rivals Fiorentina, who have been in good form recently as well.
Despite the loss of their best player and top scorer Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window, I Viola remain competitive in European competitions.
Fiorentina also advanced to the Coppa Italia semifinals after a 3-2 away victory over Atalanta earlier this month. Last Sunday, they defeated the same opponents in the previous round of Serie A, 1-0, at home Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Fiorentina will head to Reggio nell’Emilia on the strength of three consecutive victories in different competitions. Last weekend in Florence, they held Atalanta to only one shot on target. Will we see the continuation of their excellent stretch of form here at MAPEI Stadium?
