Form guide
Lazio are second with 22 points and have won four in a row since a 2-2 draw with Milan: 2-0 at Venezia, 3-1 against Monza, 3-0 at Juventus and 2-1 against Parma. They have scored two or more in six straight league games.
Sassuolo are 14th with eight points. They beat Juventus 3-2 but then lost 2-1 at Monza, drew 1-1 with Milan, lost 4-2 at Frosinone and lost 2-0 at Como. All five games had two or more goals.
Head-to-head
Lazio won 2-1 at home in March, but Sassuolo won 1-0 at home in September 2025. Lazio have won only two of their last five visits to Sassuolo.
Team news
Both sides have long absence lists. Sassuolo are without seven players, including Koné and Idzes. Lazio are missing Rovella, Marušić and Guðmundsson, and Taylor, who scored against Parma, is a doubt.
Our prediction and why
Our banker is Over 1.5 goals. Every one of both teams' last five games had two or more goals, and four of the last five meetings did too.
We also take Over 0.5 goals, because Lazio have scored two or more in each of their last six games, and Lazio to win either half. Lazio scored twice in one half in each of their last four games: twice in the first half against Monza and twice in the second half at Venezia, at Juventus and against Parma.
We do not back Lazio to win the match. They have won only two of their last five visits to Sassuolo, so our venue rule rules it out.
