Sassuolo hold the better home split and a 3-point lead over Fiorentina, but both teams arrive with poor nine-match form and significant absences.

Before kickoff

The clearest pre-match answer is that Sassuolo have the stronger platform: their Serie A home record is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, while Fiorentina’s away record is 1 win and 3 losses. Can Sassuolo turn that contrast into control when the teams meet at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 17:30 UTC?

A narrow gap in a difficult table

The provisional Serie A standings place Sassuolo at #15 with 8 points from 9 games, while Fiorentina are #17 with 5 points from 9 games. Sassuolo are 3 points ahead of Fiorentina. Both sides are below Lazio, the league leader with 25 points: Sassuolo trail by 17 and Fiorentina by 20.

Recent form offers little comfort. Sassuolo’s nine-match sequence, most recent first, is Loss, Win, Draw, Win, Loss, Draw, Loss, Loss, Loss. Fiorentina’s is Loss, Loss, Loss, Win, Draw, Loss, Loss, Loss, Draw. Neither team has kept a clean sheet in its supplied home or away sample. Sassuolo have scored 8 and conceded 10 at home; Fiorentina have scored 6 and conceded 10 away.

Absences and the tactical question

Sassuolo list D. Boloca, I. Kone, F. Leysen and Y. Paz as missing, alongside K. Thorstvedt, who is listed as missing for a red card. Fiorentina list A. Atta, F. Parisi, M. Pongracic and R. Sottil as missing; L. Ranieri is questionable with a leg injury.

Both teams most often use 4-3-3. At kickoff, can Sassuolo’s home scoring record withstand Fiorentina’s away threat despite both teams’ clean-sheet record standing at zero in the supplied samples?
