Team Form Analysis

Fiorentina's Current Situation

Fiorentina has delivered a mediocre performance this season, currently sitting 15th in the league after 33 rounds. The team has recorded 8 wins, 12 draws, and 13 losses from 33 matches, accumulating 36 points. Looking at the statistics, La Viola has struggled offensively this season, scoring just 38 goals in 33 matches for an average of 1.15 goals per game. Defensively, they've also shown vulnerability, conceding 45 goals at an average of 1.36 per match.

The team's high number of draws (12 matches) reflects Fiorentina's lack of decisiveness in games, struggling both to maintain solid defensive clean sheets and lacking sufficient attacking firepower to overcome opponents.

Sassuolo's Current Situation

The team's away performance is relatively weak, often struggling to gain advantages against opponents of similar caliber.

Tactical Analysis
