Sassuolo vs Lazio Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 27 October 2026

Sassuolo fans would barely recognise their team, which as recently as last season was playing decent football and producing results on a regular basis. In the current Serie A campaign, the black-and-greens look like a shadow of their former selves. After eight rounds they have managed just eight points and are uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. Their recent run has been particularly worrying: in their last four matches Sassuolo have lost three times and drawn once.

In the previous round they disappointed their supporters again, losing away to Como 0-2. The defeat was entirely deserved: the hosts controlled the match for virtually the entire game and created chances regularly. Sassuolo spent most of the time defending and never found an answer to Como's organised football. The statistics only underline how poor the visitors were: they managed just seven shots across the whole match, with an expected goals figure of just 0.4 xG. The coaching staff urgently need to find a way out of this crisis before they themselves are shown the door.

Lazio are the complete opposite of Sassuolo. If last season was a disappointing one for the Romans, they have started this Serie A campaign brilliantly. Through eight rounds, the Eagles have not lost a single match, conceded just five goals and accumulated an impressive 22 points. On top of that, Lazio continue to share top spot with Inter. The team are currently playing near-exemplary football, combining defensive solidity with high attacking efficiency.

In the previous round, the Romans claimed another victory, beating Parma 2-1 at home. The opposition were far from the most formidable, but Lazio approached the match with full seriousness and looked noticeably the stronger side for most of the game. The hosts controlled proceedings, created dangerous chances and deserved their positive result. They had every opportunity to keep a clean sheet as well, but in the fifth minute of added time they conceded a completely unexpected goal: a Parma player somehow managed to lob the ball over the Lazio goalkeeper and into the net. That curious episode had no bearing on the outcome, however - the three points stayed in Rome.
