Sassuolo - Fiorentina

Domenico Berardi remains the focal point for Sassuolo as they look to recover from a challenging run of results in Serie A. The forward is expected to lead the attack at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore on 2 November 2026, supported by a midfield anchored by Nemanja Matic. Sassuolo enters matchday 10 following a difficult 2-6 defeat against Lazio, a result that highlights their current defensive vulnerabilities. With Kristian Thorstvedt missing due to suspension and Fedde Leysen sidelined by injury, the hosts must find a more disciplined structure to contain their visitors.

Fiorentina arrives seeking consistency after a 2-2 draw with Atalanta in their most recent outing. Despite injuries to key figures like Luca Ranieri and Marin Pongracic, the expected XI features a robust midfield led by Nicolo Fagioli and Franco Mastantuono. Having shared the points in their last meeting on 26 April 2026, both sides will be eager to assert control in this encounter.
