Exciting game at the top of Serie A 2026/2027
Sassuolo have played their part in some crazy games at the Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore recently, but with 19 points from their first seven matches, SS Lazio are the runaway second-placed team in Serie A 2026/2027 and have a title-chasing feel to them.
They're the slim favourites for this clash, but Sassuolo have the momentum of one win and one draw in their last two home matches and it looks like a competitive game with a couple of good results behind both clubs. The Neroverdi are 13th in Serie A 2026/2027 with eight points from seven, so they still have some work to do in the table's middle, but they'll be confident of getting at least a point on Tuesday.
Lazio have the bragging rights from the last head-to-head encounter, a 2-1 home win over Sassuolo in Serie A 2025/2026 which was played seven months ago. The head-to-head record is otherwise balanced across the last three meetings (W 1, D 1, L 1) and this has all the ingredients of a thriller.
Lazio can win a lively contest
Sassuolo have been in mixed form of late, posting one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five in all competitions. Their most recent three results have seen them go down 2-1 away to Monza, draw 1-1 at home with AC Milan and get thrashed 4-2 away to Frosinone, so goals are being scored at both ends for the Neroverdi at the moment.
Gennaro Gattuso's men have clearly given Lazio a more compact and combative shape this season, with a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 that is quick in transition, presses with numbers in the middle and doesn't hang around once they win the ball back.
Alberto Aquilani's Sassuolo, meanwhile, are more interested in building from the back, creating pockets of space and overloading the wings with wing-backs. The most likely outcome here is for Lazio to eventually break through in numbers and grab a couple of goals.
Go for goals at MAPEI Stadium
Lazio have scored eight times in four Serie A 2026/2027 away games, so they definitely pack a punch on the counter. Sassuolo's home games have averaged 2.00 goals scored and 1.33 conceded in Serie A 2026/2027, so we could see a few goals here.
Lazio have a slightly better chance of winning this, but Sassuolo's unbeaten home record means we'll take the draw on the double chance bet and go for Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score in the correct score markets. It's a neat tactical clash and a game that could easily go either way.
Vasilije Adzic is the spark in Sassuolo's play with three goals in five Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, while Davide Frattesi is the go-to finisher for Lazio, also scoring three times in five league games in 2026/2027.
