Sassuolo Preview
Sassuolo is leaving much to be desired at this point in the season, with four wins, four draws and nine defeats after 17 games played. Its balance is negative, especially in recent times, as it faces a negative streak of six games without a win.
They come into this match after three consecutive losses and have registered their last win in October by a score of 2-1 against Verona. Home advantage could benefit them here, as they have won three of their four matches at home and have a record of three wins, two draws and three defeats in eight matches at their stadium.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Andrea Consigli, Jeremy Toljan, Ruan Tressoldi, Gian Marco Ferrari, Rogerio Oliveira, Davide Frattesi, Pedro Obiang, Hamed Traore, Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti, Armand Lauriente.
Lazio Preview
Lazio had been showing intriguing things and promised more prominence at the beginning of the season, but during the last games they lost consistency and also some positions in the overall standings. At the moment, they register three games without a win, with one draw and two defeats.
It is in fifth place with 31 points, after of nine wins, four draws and four defeats. The team from the capital is 13 points behind leaders Napoli, but still have a mathematical chance of fighting for the Scudetto. The 2-2 draw against Empoli in their last match is positive, but not enough to come closer to the qualication places for European competitions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel; Manuel Lazzari, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Adam Marusic; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Ciro Immobile, Mattia Zaccagni.
JefeBet Prediction
Lazio has lost its last two away games, so it is not a very reliable visiting team in recent times. However, those are the only defeats in eight games on rival soil. It is the second team with the second-lowest number of goals conceded when playing away, and that gives them hope of being able to emerge victorious.
Prediction: Lazio wins by a score of 1-2.
