Prediction: 2-0
Fiorentina
Sassuolo will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Benevento when they take on Fiorentina in the Serie A round 31. The Neroverdi quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Inter, with the team keeping their Europa League hopes alive. Ayhan has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Berardi, Caputo, and Defrel are likely to miss the Fiorentina game with injuries.
The Viola, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures. Dusan Vlahovic can’t beat Fiorentina rivals by himself, and seeing that Sassuolo aim to move closer to the Europa League berth, home win should be considered. Both Igor and Kokorin are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
