Last time out, Fiorentina went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Salernitana  They achieved 73% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Salernitana's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Vincenzo Italiano will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 16 games at Stadio Artemio Franchi.  

They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.

Davide Ballardini will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Lecce.  In that game they had 56% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Lecce who had 14 attempts and 8 on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  Playing away from home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 22 games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.  

Goalscorer Armand Laurienté will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sassuolo.
