The month of April saw something of a resurgence occur for Sassuolo, as they were defeated just once. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have been struggling to piece any kind of form together.
The hosts have recently drawn with Napoli and beaten Sampdoria at home in Serie A, as well as taking a point from trips to both Atalanta and Empoli. Things are looking up for them.
- Atalanta 1-1 Sassuolo
- Sassuolo 2-1 Sampdoria
- Sassuolo 2-2 Napoli
- Empoli 1-3 Sassuolo
April contrastingly saw Fiorentina win twice, lost twice and draw once. Paulo Sousa’s men are still in eighth place and within reach of the final Europa League place, but they need to pick up wins.
La Viola have won just one of their last six matches on the road in the Italian top flight, which came against struggling Crotone, with their travels being the reason behind their dip in form.
- Sampdoria 2-2 Fiorentina
- Fiorentina 1-2 Empoli
- Fiorentina 5-4 Inter
- Palermo 2-0 Fiorentina
A 2-0 win for Palermo against Fiorentina will give Sassuolo plenty of belief that their impressive run can keep on going in Serie A, but the hosts haven’t kept a clean sheet since March 5th.
La Viola may well be chasing European football, but with their away form looking patchy and Sassuolo looking good in recent weeks, the hosts should be confident.
