A high-profile match between contending teams US Sassuolo (6-3-4, 22 points) and ACF Fiorentina (9-3-1, 28 points) is set at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on November 30 as the 2015-2016 Serie A season moves forward.
The two clubs are coming off uncharacteristic setbacks last week and will try to look for a bounce back game against each other on Monday.
Sassuolo's three-game unbeaten run was put to a stop by middling team Genoa, 1-2, at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris last Sunday, via SkySports.
A scoreless first half was highlighted by two disqualifications, one each for both sides, as Il Grifone's Diego Perotti and I Neroverdi's Domenico Berardi were both sent off for "violent conduct" four minutes before the break.
Genoa midfielder Tomas Rincon finally broke the deadlock six minutes into the second half. Sassuolo's Francesco Acerbi equalized it in injury time, but I Rossoblu's Leonardo Pavoletti scored two minutes later to seal the game for the hosts.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina continued to be undefeated in four games, but their last one was a 2-2 draw against lowly club Empoli at their home field last Sunday, as reported by Goal.
Empoli blazed to an early lead courtesy of a goal each from Marko Livaja and Marcel Buchel in the first half hour of the contest.
However, Viola striker Nikola Kalinic scored a double in the second half to save the point for Paulo Sousa's squad.
The predicted result is a 3-0 romp for Fiorentina. I Gigliati is keen on bouncing back from its lackluster performance in its previous match as they deal Sassuolo a second consecutive defeat.
Sassuolo starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Consigli; Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso; Missiroli, Magnanelli, Duncan; Falcinelli, Defrel, Sansone
Fiorentina starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Tatarusanu; Tomovic, Gonzalo, Astori, Alonso; Valero, Suarez, Vecino; Kalinic, Babacar, Fernandez
