Match Preview
The win against Parma keeps Lazio Rome, under Gennaro Gattuso, in the race for the top: With 22 points, the team is tied with Inter and continues to put pressure on the Serie A leader. Sassuolo, on the other hand, has lost two league games in a row under Alberto Aquilani and needs a response. On Tuesday, the two teams will face off at the Mapei Stadium in Città del Tricolore. Lazio Rome won the last recorded competitive match between the two sides 2–1 in March 2026.
- Venue: Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, Reggio Emilia
- Date and Time: October 27, 2026, 6:30 p.m.
- Competition: Serie A (Matchday 9)
The odds favor Lazio Rome slightly, but also give a draw good odds. However, the 3-0 win at Juventus Turin shows that a decisive victory is possible. In the two listed away league matches, Lazio Rome kept a clean sheet, which points toward “Both Teams to Score: No.” The 2-1 win against Parma, on the other hand, supports “Over 2.5 Goals.”
Sassuolo Form & Record Check
Sassuolo lost 0-2 at Como, conceding both goals in the second half. This was a weak response following their 2-4 loss at Frosinone. In their last five Serie A matches, the team has conceded at least one goal in each game, while Lazio Rome is in good form in front of goal. Sassuolo’s 3-2 victory over Juventus Turin does show that they can beat strong opponents. However, the team has since gone three league games without a win.
Aquilani also has to adjust his plans: Fedde Leysen is out of the defense, and Daniel Boloca and Ismaël Koné are missing from the midfield. Sassuolo’s record of two wins and one draw in their home league games so far suggests Lazio Rome is unlikely to secure a decisive victory. However, the absences significantly limit Aquilani’s options for stopping Gattuso’s team.
Lazio Rome Form & Record Check
Lazio Rome beat Parma 2-1. Kenneth Taylor put the team ahead, and an own goal secured the second goal. Parma’s late goal serves as a warning sign against betting on “Both Teams to Score: No.” However, Gattuso’s team has won its last four Serie A matches.
With Nicolò Rovella sidelined, Lazio Rome must reshuffle its defensive midfield. Adam Marusic and Albert Gudmundsson are also out, which limits their options in other positions. As a result, a dominant performance is less certain.
Sassuolo vs. Lazio Rome Head-to-Head & Statistics
Lazio Rome has won 14 of the 24 recorded competitive matches between the two teams, Sassuolo has won six, and four matches ended in a draw. The result from March nevertheless points to “Over 2.5 goals,” without Sassuolo needing to match Lazio Rome’s current form.
