Recent Results:

Sassuolo: 1-1-3

Fiorentina: 3-0-2

 

• Lorenzo Pellegrini should be back at full fitness after suffering a knock in the previous round for Sassuolo. Marcello Gazzola is favourite over Pol Lirola to play at right-back.

• Gonzalo Rodriguez will be back from his suspension and will slot back into defence in favour of the suspended Nenad Tomovic for Fiorentina. There are few doubts for the rest of the lineup, which coach Paulo Sousa seems to have finally consolidated after weeks of experiments.

• Fiorentina topped their Europa League group and applied some rotation on Thursday, so they should have a fresh squad here.

• Sassuolo could have done better in the European competition, but they would have learnt from the experience. Now their only goal is getting away from the bottom three.

• The hosts are certainly favourite, especially since they have just gone back to winning ways at home, where they had struggled in the previous weeks. The fact that Sassuolo were forced to play their final Europa League game on Friday morning rather than Thursday also tips the balance in Fiorentina’s favour.
