Sassuolo welcome the visitors Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A – Round 15. The match will be held on Sunday, December 9th at the Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia).
This season Sassuolo demonstrate a very confident play, aiming to progress to the European competitions (they are only 1 point off the European Cups). They are rather masterful on their soil – 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 defeat in 7 matches. Overall, the team don’t struggle with the effectiveness, having scored 21 goals, and perform very well in defense. In the last round, they got a home win, breaking their winless series.

Ahead of the Sunday kick-off, Fiorentina are not in their best form, suffering a run of 17 winless matches (5 in 7 matches ended in a draw, and they scored under 2.5 goals in all 5 matches in total). Also, the team had a smashout defeat to Juventus (nothing to be happy about). The guests cannot boast their scoring (featuring 18 goals), but they are quite good in defense (having conceded only 13 goals).
It is quite difficult to define the favorite in the coming match, but we may not expect a pouring of goals for sure. Fiorentina are good in defense, but they are not great in attack. Same as Sassuolo (they are probably little better in attack and little worse in defense). There is only one possible conclusion – this will be a meeting of two teams which are quite equal in terms of their class and strength (two middle-class clubs), and we are not likely to see many goals this evening (if there are any at all). The opponents will prefer not to rush forward; moreover, if they lose, they will miss their chance to progress to the European competitions (and there is a tight fight for this in the Italian league).
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
