The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Sassuolo lock horns with an impressive Fiorentina side in an important encounter at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore on Saturday.
Sassuolo vs Fiorentina Preview
Sassuolo are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Atalanta in the Coppa Italia this week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this season. La Viola edged Torino to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
