Sassuolo v Lazio: Visitors backed to extend winning run in Italian championship

Lazio will look to continue their strong start to the Italian championship when they visit Sassuolo on 27 October 2026. The Rome side are second in the table with 22 points, while Sassuolo sit 14th on eight points.

Lazio are level with leaders Inter on points but trail on additional criteria. They have won their past three matches, including a 3-0 victory over Juventus and a 2-1 success against Parma.

Sassuolo, by contrast, arrive at the match after consecutive defeats. The Neroverdi were beaten 4-2 by Frosinone before losing 2-0 to Como.

Their eight points leave them four clear of the relegation zone, increasing the importance of a positive result against one of the leading teams in the division.

Head-to-head record
