Fiorentina vs Sassuolo PREVIEW & PREDICTION 16/12/2020

On Wednesday, starting with 19:45, the match Fiorentina – Sassuolo will be played, within the round with number 12 in Serie A.

The band “Viola” is going through a cruel period. Being in position number 17 in Serie A, Fiorentina is only 4 lengths in front of the “red lantern”, Crotone! In this context, Ribery & co. they no longer have any compromise and are obliged to win precious points, especially from disputes against formations with a value at least close. That’s why, on Wednesday night on “Artemio Franchi” the hosts promise “war”! According to local media, Cesare Prandelli’s students will address disputes with Sassuol in an offensive manner.

First of all, regarding Sassuolo, we must mention the fact that Sassuolo will not be able to bet on the injured Caputo, Chiriches, Defrel, Haraslin and Romagna. Furthermore, if we emphasized the fact that Fiorentina will evolve openly, in an offensive manner, we can say exactly the same about Sassuolo. The style of play impregnated by Roberto De Zerbi is one based primarily on the attack card, Sassuolo being one of the most spectacular teams in Serie A. Therefore, taking into account the aspects mentioned above, we can not count on the number of goals.

Fiorentina (4-4-1-1): Dragowski – Venuti, Milenjovic, Pezzella, Barreca – Barreca, Lirola, Amrabat, Pulgar, Castrovilli – Ribery, Vlahovic;

Sassuolo (4-2-3-1): Tips – Toljan, Marlon, Ferrari, Kypriakopulos – Bourabia, Locatelli – Berardi, Lopez, Boga – Djuricic.

Both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 direct matches;
Sassuolo, 4 victories obtained in the previous 5 away matches from Serie A;
Fiorentina, 2 consecutive defeats at home with Sassuolo.


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,58
