Biancocelesti can get the better of Neroverdi
SS Lazio are slight favourites to beat Sassuolo in a lively Serie A 2026/2027 contest at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore, but the hosts are coming off the back of an unbeaten run of two home games (W1, D1) and could make this
a close contest. The head-to-head record is pretty even, with one win apiece
and a draw recorded across the last three
meetings, but Lazio
beat
Sassuolo 2-1 at
home
seven
months
ago
in Serie
A 2025/2026.
The
Neroverdi
are
looking
good
for
another mid-table
season
as they
have
been
so
far
in Serie A 2026/2027,
but
their
form
of
one
win,
two
draws
and
two
defeats
in
the
last
five
matches
leaves
room
for
improvement.
Alberto
Aquilani's
men
tend
to
over-complicate
things
and
like
to
play
a
3-4-2-1
system
with
a
lot
of
positional
rotation
and
wing-back
width
in
which
they
aim
to
overload
the
opponents
and
build
up
in
a
clean,
neat
manner.
Gennaro
Gattuso
has
a
completely
different
approach
to
the
game
and
has
SS
Lazio
playing
a
more
compact
4-3-3/4-2-3-1
with
quicker
transitions,
more
pressure
in
the
middle
third
and
plenty
of
counter-attacking
bite.
This
could
be
a
clash
of
styles,
which
is
usually
interesting
to
see,
but
Lazio
seem
to
have
the
edge
as
they
come
into
the
game
on
the
back
of
a
two-game
winning
streak
and
have
gone
two
games
unbeaten
away
from
home.
Goals in the air when two good attacking teams clash
Lazio have scored eight goals in four away games in Serie A 2026/2027, which tells you all you need to know about their approach on the road. They carry a real threat on the counter and in transition, while Sassuolo are leaking goals. The Neroverdi's last three games were a 2-1 away defeat to Monza, a 1-1 home draw with AC Milan and a 4-2 away loss to Frosinone, so they're clearly struggling to shut it out.
They may have better success in that regard against a Lazio side that presses well, but Sassuolo's home games have averaged 2.00 goals scored and 1.33 conceded in the league this season, so the odds-on prices for this game have to be overlooked. We're going with over 2.5 goals at 7/10 and both teams to score at 57/100 while the draw at 49/20 is also an option for small stakes.
Vasilije Adzic has been the spark plug for Sassuolo with three goals in five Serie A 2026/2027 games, while Davide Frattesi has been Lazio's go-to finisher with the same number of goals in the same amount of games.
