Lazio vs Sassuolo Betting Tips and Predictions

Lazio will have to fight fatigue after having to dig deep to beat Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday. A 3-1 victory sealed by Miroslav Klose’s goal ensured Lazio progressed to the last-16 with a 4-2 aggregate victory. Lazio face Sparta Prague in the next round of the Europa League and Stefano Pioli could be forgiven for prioritising European competition over Serie A. Lazio’s recent form has been excellent with only one defeat – to Napoli – in their last 11 Serie A matches.

Sassuolo remain on track for a top-1o finish in Serie A despite their form tailing off after a brilliant start to the campaign. Eusebio Di Francesco has done an excellent job over two spells at the club and if he can mastermind a first ever victory for the club at the Stadio Olimpico, his side will keep their slim hopes of securing continental football for next season alive. In truth, neither of these sides are likely to be playing in Europe this next year unless they win this match. 

Lazio are one of Europe’s most in-form teams but their Europa League exploits could well catch up with them on Monday night. Sassuolo have had a full week of rest to prepare for this game and the result could well depend on how many changes Stefano Pioli decides to make to Lazio’s starting line-up. Tired Lazio legs will give the visitors hope, but the Biancocelesti have enough extra quality to see them through. Both teams to score – YES – at 1/1 with bet365 is appealing with both sides confident in front of goal. The last two games between these sides at the Stadio Olimpico have both finished 3-2 to Lazio and Bet365 go 28/1 for the same scoreline again.
