Sassuolo – Fiorentina

Fiorentina to pick up points in the last round of the championship

Despite losing the Italian Cup final, Fiorentina did not let up. Three days after their match against Inter, the Fiorentines faced Roma in the league. The Italian team's line-up for the game differed significantly from that of the Coppa Italia final. Thus, only three of the players who started against the Neradzurri were in the starting line-up: Ikone, Martinez and Biraghi. Nevertheless, Italiano's varied line-up played to the team's advantage. The Florentines, though they conceded the lead when El Shaarawy netted on 11 minutes, Jovic and Ikone netted two late goals. Fiorentina's win was fully deserved and it was confirmed not only by the course of the game but also by their statistics. Thus, according to the understat portal, Fiorentina scored 3 goals, while the Wolves scored 1.27. The logical explanation is the typical inertia of Mourinho's team after scoring a goal. "The Giallorossi opted to play from the scoreline and in typical coach fashion. The Florentines have not struggled for anything in the league for a long time. The team is sitting in ninth place and could move up just one position if they are successful. Vincenzo Italiano's side face their return to the top flight in June. Back then, the Fiorentina will face West Ham in the Conference League final. Sassuolo are frankly relegated this season. Over the last five rounds, the Neroverdi have collected just two points and slipped down to 13th place in the standings. Alessio Dionisi's side were 2-2 down to Sampdoria, their worst team of the league. The previous defeats came at the hands of Monza (1-2), Inter (4-2), Lazio (2-0) and a draw with Bologna. The manager himself would like to repeat the result of last season in terms of points (50 points), but after a setback against Genoa, it will be impossible. In the last ten games, Fiorentina have lost only three times. Those defeats came against Inter (1-2), Napoli (1-0) and Basel (1-2). In this meeting, the fact that the season is not yet over for the Florentines will make all the difference. Sassuolo, on the other hand, judging by their performance and results, have been longing for a holiday. In the first leg, the Pitmen clinched a 2-1 win. Now, Italiano's side are at least not going to lose.
