Sassuolo is preparing to challenge Fiorentina at the Mapei Stadium with a team that focuses on experience and structure. Coach Antonio Aquilani seems to opt for a return of Idzes from the first minute, accompanied by Caleta‑Car, while the midfield will be led by Matic. With Thorstvedt disqualified, the chances of Sulemana and Adzic being included alongside the Serbian increase, in a department that will have to guarantee greater balance and protection compared to the latest outings. In the defense the main doubts concern the lanes: Van Der Brempt is ahead of Cinquegrano, and on the left Doig is favored over Obrador. For the central defender next to Idzes, Caleta-Car remains the main choice, but Walukiewicz, Odenthal and Candé are concrete alternatives. In attack, Aquilani could maintain continuity with Berardi, Esposito and Lauriente, although Volpato insists on the captain for a shirt from the first minute.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, should not stray far from the formation used against Atalanta. Captain De Gea will lead the team, with the confirmation of Jiménez, Draguisin, Viery and JoãoMario. Oulai remains suspended on the bench, favoring the requalification of Fagioli. The lower top will be occupied by the Italian, with Ndour and Brescianini at his side. Attention is focused on the attack: Mastantuono and Njie are confirmed, but Beto is under discussion to replace Pellegrino, who could return to the starting lineup.
Both teams present themselves with balanced lines of play, but Sassuolo focuses on a more solid structure in midfield, while Fiorentina tries to maintain offensive continuity. The final result will depend on each team's ability to exploit their strengths and manage the weaknesses highlighted in the last few matches.
