Sassuolo have demonstrated that they can trouble Lazio in recent encounters, including a 1-0 victory in the previous campaign. Still, the matchup leans towards Lazio, who have secured two away wins from three possible Serie A matches in this fixture since 2023.
Sassuolo team overview
Sassuolo's inconsistent start continued on Saturday when they suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Como. The hosts had 56% possession and registered six shots on target compared with just one from Sassuolo, highlighting some of the attacking problems facing Alberto Aquilani's side.
The team’s attacking output has been respectable, but defensive vulnerability remains a concern. They had previously conceded four goals in a 4-2 defeat at Frosinone before drawing 1-1 with AC Milan.
The hosts are also dealing with several absences. Dario Boloca and Jaka Idzes are ruled out with muscle injuries, while Filippo Leysen and Yeferson Paz have knee problems. Ismaël Koné is also unavailable after suffering a broken leg.

Lazio team overview
Lazio could hardly arrive in better form. Gattuso's team followed their impressive 3-0 away victory over Juventus with a 2-1 home win against Parma on Saturday, moving to the top of the table with 22 points.
Their away record has been particularly impressive, with four victories from four league trips before this match. Lazio have also demonstrated considerable defensive consistency, keeping clean sheets in four of their first seven league matches before Saturday's late concession against Parma.
There are nevertheless some selection concerns. Nicolò Rovella and Adam Marušić are expected to miss the Sassuolo game, while Arijon Ibrahimović is also unavailable according to recent squad updates. Kenneth Taylor, who scored against Parma, had previously been listed as a doubt with a thigh problem but started and scored, suggesting he should be available.

Prediction
Lazio's unbeaten record and outstanding away form make them the deserved favourites. Sassuolo can cause problems at home, but their recent defensive performances and Saturday's defeat to Como raise doubts about their ability to contain a Lazio attack that has scored in every league match.
Prediction: Lazio to Win.
Three reasons we expect Lazio to Win
- Lazio have been nearly perfect this season, winning seven of their eight Serie A matches and remaining unbeaten.
- Sassuolo, meanwhile, have struggled, winning just two of their eight league matches.
- Lazio have also beaten Sassuolo in two of their last three meetings at the MAPEI Stadium.
