On February 26, Beijing time, Saturday's matches were mostly based on the matches of the five major leagues in Europe, and we excerpted two of the hotTest Serie A matches to make a simple analysis.
In the first game, Sassuolo played against Fiorentina
Sassuolo has been in steady form this season and currently finishes eleventh in the league with a record of eight wins, nine draws and nine defeats. If you look at the overall record alone, Sassuolo is no different from other mid-league teams, but this team is a famous Serie A giant killer, the teams that have suffered in Sassuolo's hands this season are Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and Lazio, the only top four teams that have not lost at present, Napoli, have only taken away a point on Sassuolo, I believe that at the end of the season, no Serie A powerhouse is willing to encounter Sassuolo at this time.
In the last five matches, Sassuolo has a mediocre record of one win, two draws and two losses. In the last match, the team won 2-0 away from home to league champions Inter Milan to end the four-game winless record. Judging from the course of the game, Sassuolo deserves to have the name of a giant killer, although the league rankings of the two teams are far apart, but Sassuolo did not flinch in the slightest because the opponent was a championship-fighting team, but instead engaged in a bayonet battle with Inter in midfield, and in the fight, he was not behind. Although the strength of Inter's player lineup is much higher than Sassuolo's, due to the team's recent intensive first-line players' physical fitness has also been greatly weakened, inter finally in the hands of 58% of the possession plus thirteen shots in the case of Sassuolo in the first half of the two consecutive cities to win the game. Personally, with the characteristics of Sassuolo's giant killer, I believe that Fiorentina is also doubly troubled at the moment, after all, the team has just gained some hope of competing for four, it is obviously very uncomfortable to encounter such a strong enemy, and I believe that under the stimulation of Fiorentina's strong offensive ability, Sassuolo will open the killer nature of this game.
Fiorentina have been in good shape recently, with a record of thirteen wins, three draws and nine defeats, ranking seventh in the league. Although the Purple Lily are still five points behind fourth-placed Juventus, if the game can win the hard bone Sassuolo, then the point gap between the team and Juve will be reduced to two points, and with twelve rounds of the league, the gap between the two sides is not a distant dream.
In the last five matches, Fiorentina have a good record of three wins, one draw and one defeat. In the last game, the team won three straight games at home with a 1-0 victory over the fourth-straight rival Atalanta. Judging from the course of the game, although Fiorentina has recently been somewhat weakened by the transfer offensive ability of the team's top scorer, the team always seems to be able to burst out of the abnormal competitive level when playing against Atalanta, and Fiorentina has 56% of the possession plus six shots on goal. It has to be said that Atalanta's three-game streak of killings by Fiorentina this season does not seem to be an accidental factor, but that Fiorentina has indeed restrained Atalanta in terms of technology and tactics.
As we all know, Atalanta has always been a team that relies on offensive ability to eat, but when playing against Fiorentina, Atalanta has always been unable to play its due strength, although the three meetings are only a goal difference in each game, but the overall tactical failure is one of the most critical factors, if Atalanta does not pay enough attention to this situation, it may soon be that other league teams will follow Fiorentina's tactics to target the team.
Personal analysis, the first meeting between the two sides this season became a 2-2 draw, in the last ten meetings Sassuolo four wins four draws and two losses prevailed, although Fiorentina just won three consecutive wins but Sassuolo this team seems to be not afraid of any powerful opponent, I believe that the final result of this game is likely to be a draw, after all, Sassuolo in the face of non-top four teams is still relatively friendly and did not hurt the killer. In terms of the number of goals, Sassuolo has scored four goals in the last three games, the offensive ability of about one goal per game can only be regarded as decent, while Fiorentina has scored six goals in the last three games, it seems that the team's offensive firepower has not been affected by too much turning, I believe that the number of goals in this game should not be too small, 2 goals and 3 goals are more reasonable, 4 goals need a certain defense.
In the second game, Empoli played against Juventus
Empoli has been in steady form this season, with a record of eight wins, seven draws and eleven defeats, ranking twelfth in the league. As a team that has returned to serie A this season, Empoli has undoubtedly been more successful this season, although there are no big stars in the team, but Empoli is relying on its good overall combat ability to continuously grab valuable points in the hands of many league powerhouses, if the team can maintain the current competitive state to complete the last dozen rounds of matches, and then after the end of the season to carry out some targeted reinforcements, I believe that this team should be able to get good results in Serie A next season.
In the last five matches, Empoli has drawn three draws and two losses. In the last game, the team lost 2-0 away to the relatively close Sampdoria to get an embarrassing away record of eleven winless games. From the perspective of the game, although the strength of the two sides in this game is relatively close, but Empoli's recent downturn at the front end also makes it difficult for the team to compete with other league opponents, although Empoli has 53% of the possession rate plus six shots is slightly ahead of Sampdoria, but the team is undoubtedly much inferior to Sampdoria in terms of the grasp of the goal, and finally Sampdoria won a complete victory with two goals in the first half. Although Empoli is currently relatively safe in the league rankings, it is time to adjust the front line, after all, the nearly one-month goal drought has also greatly damaged the team's league competitiveness.
Juventus has recently declined in form and is now fourth in the league with a record of thirteen wins, eight draws and five defeats. Although the team is still three points ahead of fifth-placed Atalanta, but Juve's recent defensive end has indeed had some problems, after the main center-back Chiellini and the main midfielder Chieza were plagued by injuries and could not play, Juve's defensive system has many loopholes, and Juve's opponents have frequently achieved good results from Juve through targeted attacks, if Juve can not adjust their defensive problems in the follow-up matches, I believe it is difficult for the team to get good results in the second half of the game. After all, Dybala in the front line is also plagued by injuries again, even if Vlahović is super strong, after all, he is weak in the front line, and it will be very difficult for Juve, who cannot attack and defend, to fight against other strong teams.
In the last five games, Juve have a decent record of two wins and three draws. In the last match, the team drew 1-1 with La Liga powerhouse Villarre in the quarter-finals of the Champions League to achieve an embarrassing three-game draw. Judging from the course of the game, This game Juventus was full of dangers in Villare's hands, although Vlahović scored a goal for Juventus at the beginning of the game and made a fantastic start. However, Villarre immediately launched a counter-attack on Juve under the fall, and Villare played very firmly in this game, the team focused on the weak side of Juve under the backwards and achieved good results, although in the first half the team failed to successfully break through the Juve goal, but the team has already suppressed Juve.
Sure enough, in the 66th minute of the second half, Villarre launched an attack in the middle of the road after several short passes, and Parejo shot the team to successfully equalize the score, and after the equalizer, Villarre did not stop the attack, but continued to attack Juve, for a time Juve's defense actually seemed to be a bit of a storm, this situation is not common in the past Juve, in the absence of defender Chiellini Juve's defensive end seems to lack a soul, If it were not for the fact that several of Villare's forward players were still lacking in terms of opportunities, it would be very difficult for Juventus to retreat in this game.
Personal analysis, the first meeting of the season Empoli is 1-0 away to juventus, which was not in good shape at the time, but in the recent ten meetings between the two sides, Juve is eight wins, one draw and one loss have an absolute advantage, although there are many injured people in the Juve squad at present, but Empoli is now a state of no desire and Juventus scramble for four environment has entered a white-hot, I believe that Juventus to win a small victory in this game should be the probability is not low. However, here we need to remind you that although Empoli has no desire or demand, there is no possibility of giving away three points in vain, and if Juventus cannot come up with the strength it deserves, then it is reasonable to finally win a draw. In terms of the number of goals, Empoli has only scored one goal in the last three games, the team's offensive end is obviously in a relatively sluggish state, while Juve has scored three goals in the last three games, and the average data of one goal per game is only a general level for a team competing for four, I believe that the number of goals in this game should not be too much, 1 goal and 2 goals are more reasonable, and 3 goals need a certain degree of defense.
