The 2025-26 edition of Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Sassuolo lock horns with Lazio at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday. The hosts will be looking to get off the bottom of the table and register their first win of the season.
Sassuolo vs Lazio Preview
Lazio are in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The away side thrashed Hellas Verona by a comprehensive 4-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have struggled to cope with the rigours of the top flight this season. I Neroverdi slumped to a narrow 3-2 defeat at the hands of Cremonese in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
