Sassuolo vs Lazio Predictions

• Lazio beat Verona 4-0 last time out.
• Sassuolo have two defeats from two games in Serie A.
• Lazio had the fourth best road record in Serie A last season.

Lazio can back up Verona win

Sassuolo are still seeking their first points of the new season after winning promotion and their wait may stretch beyond this weekend as they face a tough home game against Lazio on Sunday.

The visitors made a disappointing start to the campaign as they went down 2-0 at Como, but they responded well with a 4-0 demolition of Verona last time out.

Sassuolo were beaten 2-0 at home by Napoli in their opener and they came close to claiming a first point last time out, conceding late on in a 3-2 defeat to Cremonense.

The Neroverdi should be competitive in Serie A after securing an immediate return to the top flight last season but Lazio are one of the division’s strongest travellers.

The Rome club finished seventh overall last season and they had the fourth best away record in the league.

Lazio have won their last two visits to this venue and they can come away with maximum points on Sunday.

Sassuolo were unable to score against champions Napoli but they may enjoy a bit more success against Lazio, who have conceded in six of their last nine away games. As such, a 2-1 Lazio win is the correct score pick.

Taty Castellanos hit 10 goals in 29 league games for Lazio last season and got off the mark for the new campaign against Verona. Castellanos registered a goal and two assists in that win and he can add to his haul at Sassuolo on Sunday.
