Match Stats

Sassuolo:

Fiorentina secured their 10th win of the season, propelling them ahead of Bologna, Atalanta BC, reigning champions Napoli, and both Rome clubs in the Serie A standings. This victory marked a stylish conclusion to an eventful calendar year.The Viola's first fixture of 2024 arrives just before a Coppa Italia quarter-final clash with Bologna next Tuesday. After their defeat to Inter Milan in the final last season, Fiorentina aims to surpass that performance in the competition and potentially end their prolonged wait for silverware.Before venturing into the Coppa Italia campaign, Fiorentina faces another Emilian side, against whom they emerged victorious in both Serie A contests last season. This contrasts with their previous five league meetings, where Fiorentina failed to secure a win against the same opponent.


Fiorentina:

Sassuolo faced defeats of 2-1 and 3-1 against Fiorentina in the previous season. Despite these losses, Sassuolo has managed to score in each of their last 11 encounters against the Tuscan side. Notably, finding the net has been a consistent feature for Sassuolo, thanks in part to their prolific winger Domenico Berardi.While Sassuolo ranks eighth in Serie A for goal tally, trailing Fiorentina by just two goals, their defensive performance has been less impressive. The Neroverdi have gone 26 consecutive league matches without a clean sheet, making them the only team in the 2023-24 season without at least one shutout.After facing losses to Genoa and Milan around the Christmas period, Sassuolo currently holds the same record as the previous season after 18 games, amassing 16 points from four wins and four draws. This places them just two points above the relegation zone.


Analysis:

In addition to the long-term absentees Dodo and Gaetano Castrovilli, who are both on the extended path to recovery from ACL injuries, Fiorentina will be without Nico Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil due to thigh issues on Saturday evening.Meanwhile, Sassuolo's treatment room still accommodates Uros Racic, Gregoire Defrel, Matias Vina, and Pedro Obiang. However, Daniel Boloca made a return in midweek, scoring a late consolation goal in the Coppa Italia exit to Atalanta.
