As Sassuolo prepares to face Lazio, the Mapei Stadium is set to host a fixture with a rich and often one-sided history. The Neroverdi’s recent record against the Biancocelesti is particularly challenging, having earned just one point in their last five league matches.

The historical data between Sassuolo and Lazio paints a clear picture: the numbers favor the Biancocelesti. In the 22 total league meetings between the two clubs, Lazio has secured 13 victories, compared to Sassuolo’s 5, with the remaining 4 matches ending in a draw.

This dominance extends to Sassuolo’s home ground, the Mapei Stadium. In 11 previous Serie A games in Reggio Emilia, Lazio has emerged victorious 6 times, most recently in October 2023 with a 2-0 win; in addition, the Neroverdi have lost their last two home matches against Lazio by a score of 0-2 on both occasions. The side has never suffered three consecutive home defeats against the Biancocelesti, a streak they will be desperate to maintain.

Lazio started brightly, with Mattia Zaccagni scoring early to give the visitors the lead. However, Sassuolo fought back in the second half. A stunning long-range strike from Domenico Berardi equalized the score, and just minutes later, Giacomo Raspadori completed the turnaround, scoring the winning goal to send the home crowd into raptures.
