On Sunday, starting with 17:00, the Lazio – Sassuolo match will be played, from the round with number 19 in Serie A.
Lazio has excellent morale after the clear victory with AS Roma, score 3-0, a match in which Ștefan Radu’s team demonstrated why it managed to reach the eighth round of the Champions League. We expect Lazio to dominate the match with Vlad Chiricheș’s team, which suffered in the tough matches, except in the match with Roma, which they ended in a draw, score 0-0. Lazio has three consecutive victories in Serie A, and Sassuolo has something to fear: the group from Rome has only one match in which they did not score in 18 stages: in October they lost 0-3 on the field of Sampdoria.
On the other hand, Sassuolo recently lost 1-3 on the field of Juventus, and in Bergamo he scored 5 goals from Atalanta. The defense led by Vlad Chiricheș is fragile and can quickly give in under the pressure of valuable opponents.
Lazio (3-5-2): Reina – Patric, Acerbi, Radu – Lazzari, Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic, Marusic – Immobile, Caicedo;
Sassuolo (4-2-3-1): Tips – Toljan, Marlon, Ferrari, Kyriakopoulos – Magnanelli, Obianca – Defrel, Djuricic, Boga – Traore.
4 of Lazio’s last five matches have had at least 2.5 goals;
8 consecutive matches with a goal scored by Sassuolo. In seven of these games, De Zerbi’s team conceded at least one goal;
4 of Sassuolo’s last five games have had at least 2.5 goals.
PREDICTION: Lazio to win @ 1,71
