Sassuolo will invite Fiorentina to Mapei Stadium in Serie A on Saturday. The visitors are winless in 13 league games and are 19th in the league table with six points. The Neroverdi have fared much better with five wins and currently sit in 10th place.
The hosts are winless in their last two league games and lost 2-0 away to Como in their previous league outing last week. They failed to score for the first time since October and will look to bounce back in this home game.
Thanks for the submission!
The Viola concluded November on a winless run with a 2-0 away loss to Atalanta in Serie A. They failed to score for the second match in a row, having lost 1-0 to AEK Athens in the UEFA Conference League earlier that week.

Sassuolo vs Fiorentina Prediction
The Neroverdi have recorded three wins in Serie A since October, all of them coming on their travels. Nonetheless, they have won three of their last four home meetings against the visitors and will look to continue that run here.
Domenico Berardi was subbed off against Como last week and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Stefano Turati, Filippo Romagna, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Daniel Boloca, Laurs Skjellerup, and Aster Vranckx will also sit this one out.
The Gigliati have failed to score in four of their seven Serie A away games this season, which is a cause for concern. Interestingly, their only win in their last 11 games was secured away from home in the UEFA Conference League.
Marin Pongračić was booked against Atalanta and will serve a suspension here. Robin Gosens faces a late fitness test, while Tariq Lamptey is sidelined with an ACL injury.
The Neroverdi have a good home record in this fixture, and considering the visitors’ recent struggles, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
