Fiorentina and Sassuolo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Serie A.

It's no vacation for neither Fiorentina nor Sassuolo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Fiorentina form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Fiorentina at their home stadium (Stadio Artemio Franchi) is 3 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

No payout for Fiorentina in their previous match, an away game at Lazio that ended in defeat 1-2. In the match before that, Fiorentina hosted Brescia and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fiorentina have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fiorentina as they are travelling to their away game against Parma in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

Fiorentina has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Fiorentina's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sassuolo form and stats

There's been little loot from Sassuolo's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 14 away games in the Serie A. Sassuolo only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws.

Sassuolo played 3-3 against Hellas Verona in their previous match. A 3-3 draw at Inter's stadium before that.

Sassuolo's last match (vs Hellas Verona) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 1-3. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Rogério. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Sassuolo, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

We have checked recent matches where Sassuolo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, zero draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sassuolo are hosting Lecce in the Serie A only three days away.

Sassuolo find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 14 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, Sassuolo rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Sassuolo - Fiorentina 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Fiorentina won five games, three matches ended with a draw and Sassuolo has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
