The stats tell the story, and Sassuolo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 10 goals overall. Defensively, Sassuolo certainly have room for improvement. We will have to find out if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

• haven't won against Fiorentina when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• have not won away from home in their last 10 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.
