Both defences have allowed regular chances and goals recently, making the 3.70 draw a credible outcome between two struggling sides.

Prediction

Sassuolo sit 15th and Fiorentina 19th, but neither side arrives with much defensive reassurance. Fiorentina are the market favourites at 2.41, yet their recent sequence has been just as fragile as Sassuolo's. My match prediction is a draw, with both teams finding the net in a game that should create chances at both ends. The goal angles look more convincing than either outright side below.

Fiorentina at 2.41 are the shortest of the three 1X2 prices, ahead of Sassuolo at 2.88 and the draw at 3.70. That makes the visitors the market preference, but I would be careful about treating that as a clean endorsement. Fiorentina have taken one point from their last four matches, losing to Inter, Como and Genoa after drawing with Napoli. Sassuolo's own run is worse on results, with four defeats and a draw in five, so there is no case for presenting the home side as a reliable winner either.

I keep coming back to the defensive numbers within those recent results. Sassuolo have conceded 16 times in five games, including six against Lazio and four at Frosinone. Fiorentina have allowed 10 over the same number of fixtures and have conceded in every one of them. Their attack has at least scored in all five, while Sassuolo scored in four of five, which supports both teams to score more directly than a confident call on either result.

A 2-2 scoreline is plausible rather than definitive, and it naturally points to over 2.5 goals. I prefer the draw as the official 1X2 lean because Fiorentina's favourite status is not backed by a convincing recent result profile, while Sassuolo's stronger points total does not erase their alarming run of concessions. The draw price offers compensation for a match where neither team has established enough control to justify strong confidence.

Sassuolo and Fiorentina look more likely to trade goals than separate themselves, with the draw the value-minded 1X2 angle.

Key reasons

Sassuolo have conceded 16 goals across their last five matches, while Fiorentina have conceded 10 in their five listed games.
Both teams scored in four of Sassuolo's last five matches and in all five of Fiorentina's listed recent fixtures.
Sassuolo hold four more points than Fiorentina despite playing one extra match, leaving little between two sides in difficult spells.

Risk factors

Fiorentina are the shortest-priced 1X2 selection at 2.41 and may turn their superior recent return of one win from five into an away result.
Sassuolo have lost four of their last five matches, including a 6-2 home defeat to Lazio.
