This Sunday, Serie A matchday 3 features Sassuolo facing Lazio at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia. Analyzing the match reveals a strong chance for a specific outcome.
Sassuolo started the season poorly with two losses, raising concerns. Their defense has struggled, conceding five goals in just two matches, making it one of the weakest in Serie A.
At home, Sassuolo has been inconsistent, managing only two wins in their last ten games. Their goal-scoring has dropped, affecting their competitiveness against stronger teams.
Lazio, managed by Maurizio Sarri, rebounded from a slow start with a convincing win against Verona, showcasing a balanced attack. This victory has helped relieve pressure, allowing the team to focus on gathering points steadily.
Lazio tends to perform well in away matches — they have won 8 of their last 10 games away from home. However, their scoring has been limited to a maximum of two goals per game, making a low-scoring match likely.
Sassuolo is not performing at their best, especially defensively, while Lazio’s confidence has grown after their recent win. Still, given Lazio’s cautious approach on the road, a high-scoring match is unlikely. A smart choice for this game is “Lazio double chance and under 3.5 goals” at odds of 1.88.
