Sassuolo vs. Fiorentina predictions, odds, how to watch, live stream: Feb. 26 Italian Serie A expert picks

Some may have questioned Fiorentina’s decision to complete a transfer that sent leading goal-scorer Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus, as the Violets immediately took a draw and a 3-0 loss in their following two games. However, Krzysztof Piatek, a forward on loan from Hertha BSC, has emerged as the attacking presence manager Vincenzo Italiano needed to keep Fiorentina’s offense on track. The Polish striker has scored five goals in six appearances and will try to continue his pace on Saturday against Sassuolo. You can stream the match live on Paramount+.

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 Sassuolo vs. Fiorentina, Sutton is backing Sassuolo draw no bet at -105 odds. This means that he is picking Sassuolo to win, but the bet will push should the match end in a draw. The Neroverdi appear to have turned a corner after their last two matches in which they were able to pull out a 2-2 draw against Roma and a 2-0 upset of Inter Milan. After missing the match against Roma due to a yellow card suspension, forward Gianluca Scamacca scored in his return to the pitch against Inter, reigniting optimism for his club’s attack.

Although Fiorentina has moved on well from the transfer of Vlahovic, the question of how long Piatek may sustain his current run of form remains to be seen. After a 4-0 letdown against Sampdoria, Sassuolo’s defense has been battle-tested over its last three matches, which started with a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Juventus prior to the Roma and Inter fixtures. Piatek has been a swan story for Fiorentina, but he won’t rattle Sassuolo’s back line after its recent matchups.
