Prediction: 1-1
Fiorentina
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Inter, Sassuolo will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Fiorentina at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore on Saturday evening. The Neroverdi regained a much-needed confidence at the weekend, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to represent Italy in European competitions next term. All Toljan, Djuricic, and Obiang continue to miss out for the hosts, while defender Ferrari is back from suspension.
The Viola, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Spezia and Atalanta. Fiorentina are only one point behind the Conference League berth, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Important defender Nikola Milenkovic is banned for the visiting side.
