The Aquile look to bounce back to winning ways and these Sassuolo vs. Lazio predictions suggest they might just do that. Maurizio Sarri’s side are very much in the race for the top four but must avoid further slip ups against mid-table opposition.

Sassuolo vs. Lazio odds

1 – Lazio to win – 5/4

2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 9/11

3 – Both teams to score – 4/6

4 – Lazio to win 2-1 – 9/1

5 – Ciro Immobile to score first- 7/2

Sassuolo welcome Lazio to the Mapei Stadium, looking for their first win since October. The Neroverdi have lost five out of their last six games and are very much the underdogs on Sunday afternoon.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have hardly impressed since the Serie A restart, losing to Lecce and drawing to Empoli. Given Lazio’s ambitions to earn a Champions League place next season, dropping points to two teams in 12th and 13th place in the table is unlikely to do them any favours, and they will hope to turn things around on Sunday against the team in 16th.

Fortunately for the visitors, they are coming up against a side that are struggling defensively at present. Sassuolo have conceded two or more in all of their last three games and a bet on another high-scoring match at the Mapei this weekend is likely to pay off.

The Aquile, on the other hand, boast the third best defensive record in the league despite their poor form over the past three match days. Even so, there is no guarantee that they will successfully keep their hosts at bay, with Sassuolo looking far more fluid going forward since the return of Domenico Berardi.

A bet on both teams to score is likely to provide a return for punters looking for a higher-stakes wager. Lazio to win 2-1 may be worth a shot. This has been the result in two of the past six encounters between the teams. Bizarrely, the reverse result has also occurred twice in the same period.

Ciro Immobile has long been Sassuolo’s tormenter, with the Neroverdi his seventh favourite team to play against. With seven goals to his name already this season, the striker is very much in the race for top scorer and an obvious tip to score first.

Sassuolo team news

Maxime Lopez may be fit to resume training by the weekend but is unlikely to feature in Sassuolo’s match day squad. Ruan may be handed another opportunity to impress at centre back, while Agustin Martinez and Gregoire Defrel will hope to feature up front given Andrea Pinamonti’s continued struggles.

Lazio team news

Luis Alberto has been left out of the Lazio squad due to a possible move to Cadiz, meaning Mattias Vecino is expected to start in midfield. Otherwise, few changes are expected from Maurizio Sarri, with Mohamed Fares and Mario Gila out injured.
