Lazio (Home)
- Lazio’s form has been mixed of late, with two defeats, two draws and one win from their last five in all competitions, and their home form has been poor, with no wins, one draw and one defeat from their last two Serie A outings.
- Maurizio Sarri has been a very busy man since taking the helm at Lazio in June 2025, where he has been dogmatically implementing his possession-first Sarriball system.
- Lazio’s talisman in Serie A is midfielder Danilo Cataldi, who has scored three goals in 24 appearances this campaign, and Sarri has struggled to find a reliable goal scorer all season.
- Lazio have won five, drawn four and lost four of their 13 home Serie A games, conceding an average of 1.23 goals per-game.
Sassuolo (Away)
- The Neroverdi enter Monday’s fixture as favorites to leave Stadio Olimpico with all three points, a decision which seems to be reflected by Sassuolo’s odds for the away win (3.4), and we agree that the momentum is on Fabio Grosso’s side.
- Sassuolo are ninth in Serie A with 38 points from 27 games, while Lazio are 11th with 34 points.
- Sassuolo have won five, drawn three and lost five of their 13 away Serie A fixtures, but they’ve conceded just 16 goals on the road.
- Sassuolo have won their last three Serie A matches, and four of their last five.
- Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last two away games.
- Sassuolo’s talisman Domenico Berardi has scored seven goals in 17 Serie A appearances this season (three goals in his last five).
- Sassuolo have won both of their last two away games, and it seems that Armand Lauriente has finally found his rhythm in his role as the provider, with the Frenchman providing four assists in his side’s last five games.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head is tied at one win apiece and one draw in their last three meetings in Serie A.
Key Players
- Domenico Berardi - seven goals in 17 Serie A appearances this season (three goals in his last five).
- Danilo Cataldi - three goals in 24 appearances this campaign.
Betting Insights
- The odds for an away win are attractive, and there is a good chance that at least one of these sides will fail to score in the game, so we’ll take Both Teams to Score - No at 1.83 and Over 2.5 goals at 2.15.
- Sassuolo’s away win price (3.4) suggests value given their recent run.
Prediction
- Sassuolo will look to hit Lazio on the transition and their pace and width should cause problems for the hosts.
- With Sassuolo on such a great run of form and Lazio struggling for wins, we’re backing the away side to get the job done in a game that should see goals, but probably not both teams to score.
