The final straight of the Serie A season starts this weekend and the result of these Lazio vs. Sassuolo predictions could hint at the European spots. Both sides are in with a chance of sealing a Europa League place in the final weeks of 2021-22.
Lazio vs. Sassuolo odds
1 – Sassuolo to win – 10/3
2 – Sassuolo to score over 1.5 goals – 8/5
3 – Over 0.5 first half goals – 5/4
4 – BTTS – Yes – 10/19
5 – Sassuolo to win 2-1 – 12/1
Both sides find themselves within striking distance of making a push for Europe before the end of 2021-22, but visitors Sassuolo head into this tie in better form. Alessio Dionisi’s side return to Serie A action as one of the most in-form sides in the Italian top flight, with an unbeaten run of six league games ahead of the international break.
Within that streak of results, Dionisi’s charges picked up an eye-catching 14 points from a possible 18 to revive their campaign and put the pressure on sides above them in the table. Sassuolo will also fancy their chances of a win on Rome based on their run of seven points from their last three away games, compared to Lazio’s home form of just two league wins at home since the start of 2022.
Alongside their positive form, Sassuolo have also rediscovered their goalscoring touch in recent weeks, with 16 goals in their last six games. Within that, Sassuolo have scored a minimum of 1.5 total goals in six successive matches, with nine of those 16 goals scored in the first half.
However, Dionisi’s side have been forced to rely on their ability to outscore opponents. They’ve only kept one clean sheet in that run of results, with an average of just over one goal conceded per game.
Lazio will be concerned about their season drifting and Sassuolo will be confident of taking advantage with all three points in the Italian capital. A 2-1 win for the away side would fit with their record of winning games this month, despite conceding more goals than Dionisi would like at this stage of the campaign.
