Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting Tips (28 April)

Fiorentina is currently 9th in Serie A and, with one game less, is 5 points behind 7th. Achieving a European folding seat therefore remains accessible but you will have to finish strong. Last weekend, the Tuscans had to wait until the end of the match to win against the red lantern, Salernitana 0-2. This result does them a lot of good since it put an end to a bad series of 5 games without a victory in the championship, 3 draws and 2 defeats. This week, the Viola fell to Atalanta 4-1 and thus missed qualification for the Italian Cup final, winning 1-0 in the first leg. In the Europa Conference League, Fiorentina struggled to overcome Viktoria Plzen and will face Club Bruges in the semi-finals.

Not expected to be in such difficulty this season, Sassuolo now occupies 19th place in Serie A with 2 points behind the first non-relegation team. Armand Laurienté's partners have only won against Frosinone in the last 14 days, for 4 draws and 9 defeats. After a slight start marked by 3 points shared in a row with Udinese, Salernitana and AC Milan, they fell back into their bad habits last weekend. Despite the support of its fans, Sassuolo was soundly beaten by a direct competitor for maintenance, Lecce 0-3.

Fiorentina must deal with injuries to midfielder Mandragora and replacement striker Nzola (2 goals in SA). All absent last weekend, the offensive executives Bonaventura (7 goals and 3 assists in SA), Gonzalez (7 goals in SA), Beltran (6 goals in SA) and Belotti (1 goal in 10 SA matches) played again this week in the Italian Cup but they are not guaranteed to start.

Little in sight this season, the former Lille player Ikoné is finding some color these days (2 goals and 1 assist in his last 3 games).
