Lazio will welcome Sassuolo to the Stadio Olimpico in a mid-table Serie A clash on Monday. While the visitors have 11 wins, three more than the capital club, they only have a two-point lead in the standings.
I Biancocelesti have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last four games in all competitions. They lost 2-0 to Torino in Serie A last week and were held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta in the Coppa Italia semifinals first leg on Wednesday. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Boulaye Dia were on the scoresheet in the second half in that match.
Thanks for the submission!
I Neroverdi extended their winning streak in Serie A to three games last week, defeating Atalanta 2-1 at home. Ismaël Koné broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute, and Kristian Thorstvedt doubled their lead in the 69th minute.

I Biancocelesti have lost two of their last four games, failing to score in three games in that period. They have also conceded at least two goals in three games in that period. Notably, they are unbeaten in their last four home meetings against the visitors, recording three wins.
Ivan Provedel is set to undergo surgery and is out for the remainder of the season. Maurizio Sarri also remains without the services of Nicolò Rovella and Samuel Gigot due to injuries.
I Neroverdi have registered three consecutive wins for the first time this season and will look to build on that form. They have won their last two away games, scoring five goals in that period.
Edoardo Pieragnolo, Daniel Boloca, and Fali Candé remain sidelined, while Alieu Fadera underwent surgery earlier this week and will miss this match. Andrea Pinamonti was sent off last week and will serve a suspension.
Considering the current form of the two teams, we back the visitors to secure a win.
