Following a topsy-turvy start to the league season, Lazio have found a bit of consistency in recent weeks. And it is this form they will be banking on, as they look to see off the challenge of a formidable Sassuolo side.

Sassuolo can be content with the way they’ve started the season, and manager, Roberto De Zerbi, will be eager for his side to maintain, and perhaps improve on the performance levels they have shown so far.

Lazio vs Sassuolo Team News

In their last Serie A fixture, Lazio swept aside fierce rivals AS Roma, to keep up their recent good run of form. The Eagles took an early lead via a Ciro Immobile, and soon after, doubled the tally, thanks to Luis Alberto’s goal.

Luis Alberto’s second goal extinguished all hopes of a Roma fightback, and ensured it’d be a comfortable result for Simone Inzaghi’s side in the end.

Lazio are on a three-game winning run in the league, and have tasted defeat just once in their last seven Serie A matches. This good run of form has seen The Sky Blues boost up the standings, although they still sit outside the European spots.

With 31 points won from their 18 games played so far, Lazio are currently placed 7^th on the standings, although they are only three points behind Napoli in third.

Sassuolo’s last Serie A match saw them leave it very late to secure a hard-fought point over relegation candidates, Parma, at home. Parma took the lead thanks to a Juraj Kucka header in the first half, and resisted all attempts by the Neroverdi to get back in the game.

However, Parma’s resistance would be eventually broken when Maxime Busi tripped a Sassuolo player in the box. And Filip Djuricic would make no mistake, as he converted the ensuing penalty to give his a share of the spoils.

De Zerbi’s men are winless in their last two league outings, and have won just twice in seven Serie A matches. Regardless, The Black and Green maintain the 8^th position on the standings, one point behind their host, and remain well within touching distance of the European spots.

One thing that can be said to be key to Lazio’s recent resurgence is their strong start to games, and the Rome side have found the back of the net first in their last four Serie A matches. In these matches, Lazio have scored within the opening fifteen minutes, on three different occasions.

Lazio have been far from convincing when playing at home this season, and they have only won 4 of the 9 league matches played at the Stadio Olimpico. Sassuolo, in contrast, have found joy on the road this season, and more than half (17) of their league points have been won away from home.

Injured or Suspended Players

Lazio: Silvio Proto, Luis Alberto, Danilo Cataldi and Luiz Felipe.
Sassuolo: Filippo Romagna, Domenico Berardi, Mehdi Bourabia, Manuel Locatelli, Jeremie Boga, Nicolas Schiappacasse and Vlad Chiriches.

Lazio vs Sassuolo Predictions

Both sides are separated by just a point on the standings, hence there is no clear-cut favorite to walk away with all three points. Lazio are the team in form at the moment though, and this should give them the edge in this encounter.

Sassuolo have also proven to be difficult to handle when playing away from home. As such, they definitely won’t go down without a fight. Nonetheless, we can see the Biancocelesti coming out on top via a narrow win margin.
