Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

Fiorentina vs Sassuolo Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Preview for Italian Serie A match on Wednesday, 1 July 2020. Kick off 20:45 UK/ 21:45 CET at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Both teams are comfortably placed in the mid-table. Neither do they a good shot at making it into Europe, nor are they under any imminent danger from the relegation cut-off. As such, the teams have been playing pretty relaxed lately.

On top of that, defense from both squads have not been on the top of their games as well. In fact, clean sheets have been very rare for the teams all through the season.

Going on, h2h encounters between the two have also been filled with plenty of goals over the years. Considering all these factors, expect both teams to slot in goals this Wednesday at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina vs Sassuolo: Prediction

The Purples lost 2-1 on the road the last match-day, against Lazio. The guests had the opportunity to post the win, after scoring an early goal and leading for a long time. However, towards the end of the second half, Ciro Immobile struck in the equalizer.

And later, Luis Alberto scored the winning goal as well, and that too with just seven minutes remaining on the clock.

Meanwhile, the Black and Greens recorded a 3-3 draw at home the past game week. It was an inspiring performance from the hosts, to secure a single point from the game.

After trailing 1-3 with just 13 minutes till final whistle, the hosts scored their second goal, and the slotted the equalizer in the 90+7th minute.

As it can be seen, both teams have an unsteady defense. In fact, the Purples failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their prior eight overall fixtures, and in 11 of their previous 15 appearances at this venue.

Going on, the Black and Greens had conceded a total of ten goals from their last three matches, and have a total of four clean sheets away from home in the prior 16 months.

In addition, h2h meetings over the years as well had an enormous number of goals. Considering these factors, it’s estimated that the upcoming game will be a goal-fest as well.
