Preview: Lazio vs Sassuolo Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The White and Blues will take on the Black and Greens on matchday 28 of Serie A.

The Rome-based team Lazio will host Sassuolo at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A. So far, Lazio’s season has been full of ups and downs, and they will be disappointed with how things are going for them. They have enough quality to finish in the top eight spot, but poor performance has led to inconsistent results.

So far, they have played 27 matches in which they won eight, drew 10 and lost nine matches. With 34 points on the board, they sit in 11th place. Still, some games are left, and they are capable enough to turn around their situation and enter the top eight spot. Earlier, when they faced Sassuolo, they lost by 1-0.

On the other hand, Sassuolo got a promotion to the top tier this season, and they are flying so far. Nobody expected them to perform like this, as they are a newly promoted side, but they have shown their quality on the pitch. In 27 matches, they have won 11, drawn five and lost 11 games.

With 38 points on the board, they sit in ninth place. They have dropped a lot of points, but still, with their style of play, they have impressed everyone. They will hope to do a double over their opponents, but will have to be at their best.
