Sassuolo vs Fiorentina opens Matchday 14

Fiorentina hope to move away from last place, while the Neroverdi are looking for three points to keep themselves on track.

Matchday 14 of Serie A kicks off at the Mapei Stadium with Sassuolo hosting Fiorentina. The Viola, beaten by Atalanta last weekend, are still searching for their first league win of the season despite a change of head coach, and the need for a turning point is now urgent. They look for it against a Sassuolo side coming off a draw with Pisa and a defeat to Como, determined to bounce back.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

In Emilia, the official previous encounters between the two teams are 12: 4 victories for the neroverdi (the last one 1-0 in Serie A 2023/24), 3 draws (the last one 3-3 in Serie A 2018/19), 5 victories for the viola (the last one 1-3 in Serie A 2022/23). The first of these 12 encounters was in Serie C2, the first year since Fiorentina's refoundation after the bankruptcy in the summer of 2002: on 22 December 2002, Cavasin's Fiorentina won 1-0 against Maestroni's Sassuolo with a goal from Cristian Riganò. Sassuolo have scored at home against Fiorentina for 10 matches in a row, with a total of 16 goals; last match without goals in December 2013, in Serie A, a viola victory 0-1.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fiorentina are the team in Serie A 2025/26 that have most worsened their performance compared to matchday 13 of last season; -22 points. Fiorentina had never started a championship without winning any of the first 13 matchdays. The last viola victory in Serie A dates back to last 25 May, 2-3 in Udine, last matchday of the 2024/25 season.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Between Fabio Grosso and Paolo Vanoli, this is the second encounter as coaches: the only previous one was Frosinone-Venezia 3-0 in Serie B 2022/23, with victory for the current Sassuolo manager. Fabio Grosso as a player scored 12 goals in Serie A. The first and the last came against Fiorentina at the Franchi: on 6 January 2002 in Fiorentina-Perugia 1-3 (from a direct free kick) and on 6 March 2010 in Fiorentina-Juventus 1-2.
