Lazio's Defense Faces Sassuolo's Open Games
Lazio sit second after four wins and a draw in their last five league outings while Sassuolo sit thirteenth with just one win in the same span. The visitors concede only 0.8 goals per game and 0.3 away from home, whereas Sassuolo allow 2.0 per game and have seen both teams score in every fixture so far. Sassuolo miss Koné, Pieragnolo, Candé and Boloca, weakening their midfield and back line, while Lazio are without only Patric and Furlanetto. In the last ten head-to-heads Lazio have five victories and Sassuolo three. Sassuolo have produced three or more goals in six of their seven league games this term. Lazio’s organized defense should restrict chances and keep the home side from taking the lead.
