Lazio vs Sassuolo Prediction 9 March 2026
📢 What can we expect from the Matchday 28 clash in Serie A between Lazio and Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico? Both teams have delivered similar performances this season, sitting in 11th and 9th places respectively, with just a 4-point gap between them. While the motivation might not be sky-high for either side, it doesn't mean that either team will be willing to easily concede points.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Lazio and Sassuolo over recent years includes 23 matches: the Romans have claimed 13 victories, 4 encounters ended in a draw, while the "Neroverdi" have won 6 times. In the first round, Sassuolo managed to secure three points with a 1-0 home win.
Head-to-head statistics Lazio - Sassuolo
Lazio Rome Team Overview
🔵 Lazio are enduring a disappointing season by their standards. After 27 rounds, the team has only accumulated 34 points and find themselves in the bottom half of the standings. The relegation zone is alarmingly closer than the European spots, with a 13-point gap from the top six and only a ten-point cushion above the danger zone. Their recent form offers little solace, as they have gone four matches without a win.
⚪ In the last round, the Romans suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Torino-a team also struggling this season. The "Eagles" showed virtually nothing in attack and failed to create enough chances to score even once. A few days later, Lazio played the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta. Despite taking the lead twice, they couldn't hold on, and the match ended 2-2. Considering the return leg will be in Bergamo, their prospects of reaching the final look rather bleak.
Match Results: Lazio Rome
Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Sassuolo, who made their return from Serie B last summer, are playing even better football this season than Lazio. They currently sit in ninth place on the league table with 38 points and head into their upcoming clash in excellent form, having won 5 of their last 6 matches.
⚫ In the previous round, Sassuolo faced Atalanta at home. Unlike the Romans, the "Neroverdi" managed to secure a positive result with a 2-1 victory. The situation was quite challenging for the hosts as they were reduced to ten men as early as the 16th minute. However, Sassuolo scored a goal in each half and held on for the win, conceding only in the dying moments of the match.

Latest news
Lazio Rome
📣 After the match against Atalanta (2-2), Lazio's head coach Maurizio Sarri stated: "It was a high-level game, and it's a shame about the result. With fans in the stadium, we could have pushed them further. The team fought hard, and not only that-they played quality football. We were on equal terms and created difficulties for one of Italy's strongest teams at the moment."
🚫 Lazio's injury list remains largely unchanged. Toma Basic is doubtful as he recovers from a thigh injury. Samuel Gigot remains unavailable due to a muscle injury. Nicolo Rovella will be sidelined for a much longer period as he recovers from a broken collarbone, with a return expected only by early May.
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 After the match against Atalanta (2-1), Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso stated: "We've etched our names into the club's history. Today, we played an incredible game. The guys have earned their place in the annals of this club. We've finally put the cherry on top that we've been seeking for so long. We played against a very strong team, which might have left some of their strength on the Champions League fields."
🚫 Sassuolo face significant squad issues. The participation of Edoardo Pieragnolo and Fali Candé is doubtful as both are recovering from muscle injuries. Andrea Pinamonti will miss the match due to a red card received in the last round. A return is expected for Ayo Fadera at the start of April after suffering a cheekbone fracture last weekend. Daniel Boloca will be out for much longer, as the Romanian is recovering from a meniscus injury and is expected back on the field only by mid-May.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Lazio rarely manage to keep a clean sheet at home against Sassuolo - the Romans have conceded in 10 of their last 11 Serie A head-to-heads on their own turf. Considering the "Neroverdi" have been consistently finding the back of the net this season, scoring 34 goals in 27 matches, a bet on a Sassuolo goal seems quite reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Recent Lazio matches have seldom featured a high number of corners - the under 9.5 corners bet has hit in 9 of their last 10 games. In their previous clash against a more attacking Atalanta side, there were only four corners taken (3:1 in favor of the Bergamo team), so it's unlikely we'll see a deviation from this trend in the upcoming match.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Lazio are the favorites for the upcoming match, but that’s a tough call to agree with. The Eagles have been struggling lately: since early February, they have played six matches without securing a win. Their only positive result in this period was a victory over Bologna in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals, achieved only after a penalty shootout. On the other hand, Sassuolo are on the rise, winning five of their last six matches, with their only loss coming against a formidable Inter (0-5). Considering the current form of both teams, the most reasonable prediction is to bet on Sassuolo not to lose. We wouldn’t be surprised if the match ends with a scoreline of 1-2.
