On May 3, Stadio Olimpico (Rome) will host the match of the 33rd round of the Serie A, in which Lazio will compete with Sassuolo. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Lazio
The club spent a powerful segment in the Calcio not so long ago. First, having left the European competition (it was defeated by AZ at the 1/8 final stage of the Conference League), the team managed to win the March “Capital derby” against Roma. And after a pause for the matches of the national teams, “the Eagles” were able to consistently beat not only Monza and Spezia, but also Juventus in April – the higher mentioned results allowed to gain a solo foothold in the second place. That is why a sudden 0-1 failure with the middle peasants, Torino, at the home arena was more than surprising. After that, Maurizio Sarri’s wards played with one of the pursuers, Inter – there happened one more defeat. It goes without saying that the main pursuers also lost points, but the team obviously wanted to break away from the competitors at the finish line.
Sassuolo
The team, being under the rule of De Zerbi, seemed to be quite worthy – nevertheless, it was not possible to return to the European competitions even with Roberto as it did not rise above the 8th position. This specialist left the club, first to Shakhtar Donetsk, and nowadays, he is already surprising the whole England as the head coach of Brighton. Alessio Dionisi became the new mentor, but he just manages not to allow a complete failure. Speaking about the previous season that was the first for him in a new position, “the Black and Greens” took only the 11th place. And it seems that this time the result will approximately be the same. There is no special motivation in the spring, which results in such real failures as a 1-2 misfire in the battle with Verona or a 0-3 defeat made by Salernitana. However, the team beat Juventus and won a home match against Empoli in April.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Both previous matches ended in victories of Lazio. The club from Rome beat the opponent with a 2-1 score at the home arena last spring, and the January match brought 2 unanswered goals in the away struggle.
Predictions
Bookmakers believe that Sassuolo will not get any points in the following away match. Lazio should add in the game, because the pursuers are not so far away. Thus, we believe that “the Eagles” will win at the home arena (odd: 1.68).
