Sassuolo Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

In their first eight league games of the season, the Emilians have thus far registered two wins, two draws and four defeats. Therefore, they currently sit 14th in the table with eight points from as many fixtures. Alberto Aquilani’s men are coming off back-to-back defeats on the road to Frosinone (2-4) and Como (0-2).

Nevertheless, Sassuolo have had their exploits this season, especially at home, where they beat Torino and their more famous neighbours, Juventus, in a dramatic 3-2 clash.  Moreover, they forced AC Milan to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Aside from the shocking Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Mantova, Lazio have been virtually unstoppable this season, winning seven of their eight Serie A games. Their victim list features Bologna (1-0), Genoa (1-0), Udinese (2-1), Venezia (2-0), Monza (3-1), and Juventus (3-0), while Parma became their latest casualty on Saturday following a routine 2-1 victory.

The only team that managed to survive Gennaro Gattuso’s juggernaut was his former club AC Milan, thanks to a second-half comeback that earned them a 2-2 draw. Therefore, the Aquile currently sit at the top of the table with 22 points from a possible 24, only behind Inter Milan, who have a superior goal difference.

Lazio (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Doekhi, Leite, Pedraza; Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor; Isaksen, Noslin, Zaccagni.

Final Score Prediction: Sassuolo 1-3 Lazio

Despite what their league standing might suggest, Sassuolo are capable of achieving a result on any given day, especially when playing at home. That being said, Lazio have been perfect on the road. Therefore, either the Emilians will suffer their first home defeat of the season, or the Biancocelesti’s away-win streak will be brought to a halt.

Based on their current form, Gattuso’s men should be the favourites, and they’ll be able to rely on their loyal travelling supporters who will attempt to take over the Mapei. But the biggest question is whether the Aquile will be able to swiftly recover their fitness levels, as the lack of depth in attack and midfield could force the manager to confirm the majority of the starting lineup.
