📋 Team News: Fiorentina

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Italiano to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Giacomo Bonaventura (Ankle problems) misses out.

It seems likely that La Viola will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Pietro Terracciano, Michael Kayode, Luca Ranieri, L. Martínez Quarta, Fabiano Parisi, Maxime Lopez, Alfred Duncan, Jonathan Ikoné, Gaetano Castrovilli, Riccardo Sottil and Antonin Barak.

ℹ️ Team News: Sassuolo

We’re of the thinking that Sassuolo will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Andrea Consigli, Jeremy Toljan, Martin Erlic, Gianmarco Ferrari, Mattia Viti, Matheus Henrique, Kristian Thorstvedt, Gregoire Defrel, Nedim Bajrami, Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Fiorentina will most probably be able to score a couple when they meet Sassuolo, who may well find it hard finding the net themselves.

Accordingly, we see a decent 2-0 winning margin for Fiorentina when the full-time whistle blows.
