Two sides that have made stuttering starts to the new Serie A season will clash on Saturday. Sassuolo and Lazio both currently sit in the bottom half of the standings, and a victory for either this weekend could move them into the top ten.
Serie A Preview
Lazio will likely be disappointed with the start to the season that they have made this term, as they have failed to kick on after finishing the 2022-23 campaign as runners-up. They come into this first match following the international break down in 13th, as they have won just three of their opening eight matches this term.
However, there was evidence to suggest that they were getting their campaign on track before the break in play, as they had won two from three to move up the league standings. The Italian giants produced one of their best performances of the season to date in their most recent match, as Matias Vecino scored a dramatic winner in the final ten minutes to secure a 3-2 home win over Atalanta.
Sassuolo come into this showdown sitting a place higher than their rivals in the current standings, but they have also won three of their opening eight matches this term. The Italian side have suffered four defeats over the opening months of the season, and they have already allowed 14 goals in the matches that they have played.
Sassuolo will be hoping to put some disappointing form behind them when they return to action, as they are winless in their last two in Serie A. Before the international break, they picked up a draw on the road against Lecce, with Domenico Berardi netting the opening goal for Sassuolo before the hosts equalised early in the second half.
Sassuolo vs Lazio Head to Head
Lazio have dominated the previous clashes between these sides, as they have won each of their last three against Sassuolo in Serie A. They have won each of the last two by a 2-0 scoreline, including the most recent showdown between the Italian sides since May.
Sassuolo vs Lazio Prediction
Lazio’s record in this fixture appears challenging to overlook this weekend. The Italian side has dominated the previous encounters, and they look good value to continue that winning sequence when the sides collide this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with an away win on Saturday.
