Lazio – Sassuolo

Lazio head into the clash at home perched in third place with ten points from three wins and a draw, their attack having netted six while conceding only three. Sassuolo sit ninth on seven points, having taken two victories, one draw and one defeat, and they edge a slightly better goal difference at eight scored and seven conceded. The hosts will look to extend their unbeaten run and maintain pressure on the league leaders, while the visitors will aim to close the gap to the European spots with a vital win. Both sides have already faced each other twice this season, each securing a point, so the encounter promises a tightly contested battle for the three points.
