Fiorentina are closing in on safety and could take a decisive step when they host mid-table Sassuolo in Serie A.
The home team’s turnaround has been impressive after a slow start to the season. They have not lost in the league since early March and continued that run with a 1-1 draw against Lecce.
Alongside a strong showing in Europe—reaching the Conference League quarter-finals—their primary objective remains survival, and a win here would almost guarantee it.
Their home form suggests they are well-placed to achieve that, with just one defeat in their last nine league matches on their own ground, giving La Viola confidence heading into this clash.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, have already exceeded expectations following promotion. Their 2-1 win over Como last time out took them to 45 points from 33 matches.
Sitting 10th, they are comfortably clear of relegation but too far from the European spots to realistically challenge, leaving a mid-table finish as their likely outcome.
However, their away form has been inconsistent, with no wins in their last three away games and just two victories from their last 10 away fixtures, which could limit their chances of spoiling Fiorentina’s momentum.

Whispers predicts: Fiorentina 2-1 Sassuolo
The reasoning behind this 2-1 prediction lies in Fiorentina's current six-match unbeaten streak and their dominance over the visitors at the Artemio Franchi.
The Viola have shown great resilience at home, and their ability to grind out results against top-tier sides like Lazio and Inter suggests they can overcome this tie.
The bookmakers have positioned the home side as favourites with odds of 1.90, reflecting their strong home form.
A draw is priced at 3.50, which remains an attractive option given Fiorentina's tendency to draw matches this season.
An away win for the visitors is currently valued at 3.75, indicating that while they are the underdogs, they are still considered a threat.
For those looking at goals, over 2.5 is priced at 1.80, a sensible choice given both teams' history of finding the net.
Both teams to score (yes) is another strong proposition at 1.75 odds, and home to win or draw is given at 1.25 odds.
> Home to win at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score at 1.75 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.80 | Likelihood: Possible
