Serie A: Fiorentina vs. Sassuolo – Confirmed line-ups and updatesFiorentina will have to do without both Moise Kean and Roberto Piccoli in attack as the Viola host Sassuolo at the Stadio Franchi in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.

>Paolo Vanoli’s side were held to a 1-1 draw away against Lecce last time out in Serie A, but despite a poor start to the 2025-26 season, they are now six matches unbeaten in the league.

>Sassuolo beat high-flying Como 2-1 last weekend, a positive response following their 2-1 defeat against Genoa the weekend prior.

>Fiorentina sit in 25th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone with five matches remaining ahead of kick-off today. Sassuolo are in 10th on 45 points and are mathematically safe from relegation this season.

>Vanoli will have to do without both Kean and Piccoli in attack, which means that Albert Gudmundsson leads the line with support off the flanks from Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon. Fiorentina are also handing a full Serie A debut to 20-year-old left-back Luis Balbo.
