Sassuolo v Fiorentina match analysis

This analysis was locked at kick-off on Mon 2 Nov 2026 and has not been changed since.

Pre-match analysis · as published

Written before kick-off

Sassuolo and Fiorentina are evenly matched according to the model, with each team given roughly a third of the winning chances. Both arrive in poor form, each winless in their last five league matches. Expected goals are tightly balanced at 1.42 for Sassuolo and 1.4 for Fiorentina, totalling 2.82. Both teams are seriously depleted by injury, which will reshape their approach.
