Italian Serie A picks for Fiorentina vs. Sassuolo

Before tuning into Saturday’s match, you need to see the Sassuolo vs. Fiorentina picks from SportsLine’s soccer insider Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine’s top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. 

For Fiorentina vs. Sassuolo, Sutton is picking both teams to score at -180 odds. Outside of a 3-0 loss to Lazio on February 5, Fiorentina has had one of Serie A’s most potent attacks since mid-January. Perhaps more importantly, the Violets have stepped up in some of their biggest matchups. in their Round of 16 Coppa Italia match against Napoli, they put in five goals to advance to a quarterfinal meeting with Atalanta, which they went on to win, 3-2. They defeated Atalanta once more in their most recent match, but only needed one goal to do so. On January 17, Fiorentina put in six goals in a clean sheet thrashing of Genoa.

While Sassuolo’s offense hasn’t been as explosive, it has netted five goals over its last three games. On the road in its last match against Inter Milan, Sassuolo stunned the home crowd with two unanswered first-half goals by Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca. Young forward Hamed Junior Traore has received more time in the starting lineup and has scored twice in his last three matches.
