[Serie A] Lazio Vs Sassuolo Prediction

After the national team break, Lazio prepare to return ahead of their scheduled game against Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, 2 April 2022

The two teams are only six points apart and two spots different in the standings, with the seventh-placed hosts hoping not only to extend their lead with a victory, but also to stay close to arch-rivals Roma.

Biancoceleste looked to bounce back from the derby defeat, but the coach will have to do without the suspended Pedro.  To monitor the conditions of Luiz Felipe, he returned with a knee problem. Radu still out with injury since Cagliari.

Few doubts for Dionisi who now has to oversee Berardi's conditions following his commitment to Italy. If the Italians don't make it, Defrel is ready

The two teams have met 18 times, Lazio has 9 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, Sassuolo. Sassuolo beat Lazio Roma 2-1 in the first leg of the season last December

Lazio (4-3-3): Strakosha;  Lazzari, Patric, Acerbi, Marusic;  Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni.

Prediction: Lazio - Sassuolo = 2 - 1
