Sassuolo shared the spoils against Sampdoria last time out despite taking the lead twice through Domenico Berardi and Matheus Henrique. The result extended their winless run to five games, losing three times in the period. The Watermelon Peel have recorded 12 league-wins this term and their last success came against Empoli (2-1) towards the end of April thanks to Berardi’s late double. Meanwhile, Sassuolo have lost only one of their last seven games at Stadio Citta del Tricolore, while recording four home-wins in the process.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are preparing to take on West Ham United in the Europa Conference League showdown in Prague on June 7. Vincenzo Iatliano’s side are trailing the top seven by six points and with only one top flight match remaining they will not be qualifying for Europe via the Serie A. However, Viola would qualify for the group stage of next season’s Europa League if they beat West Ham in next week’s final. Meanwhile, when it comes to the Serie A, the Purples got the better of Europa League runner-ups AS Roma last weekend courtesy of two late goals from Luka Jovic and Jonathan Ikone. It was their 14th top flight victory of the season.
Sassuolo probable starting lineup: Consigli, Zortea, Erlic, Ferrari, Rogerio, Obiang, Harroui, Henrique, Berardi, Pinamonti, Ceide
Fiorentina probable starting lineup: Cerofolini, Dodo, Martinez, Igor, Biraghi, Duncan, Mandragora, Ikone, Barak, Saponara, Jovic
