Sassuolo vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Relegated from Serie A in 2024, Sassuolo only needed one season to get back into the elite. Indeed, the band at Fabio Grosso dominated Serie B last year to win the title with 6 points ahead of its closest prosecutor. Obviously, the promoted is no longer waited for anything other than maintaining this season. Unfortunately, the start of the championship turns out to be worrying. Sassuolo is already the last in the ranking after losses against the title champion Napoli 0-2 and on the Cremonese lawn on the last day 3-2. Last year, Lazio fought a great battle but had to be satisfied with 7th place in Serie A with the same number of points as the 6th.

The Laziale training lacked European strapontines. This summer, Maurizio Sarri returned to the bench with the aim of winning a continental qualification. During the 1st day, the Biancocelesti carried out a bad operation by losing on the lawn of Como 2-0. On the other hand, they reacted a week later. In its lair, Lazio easily took over the Hellas Verona 4-0. 

Historically, Lazio have dominated this fixture, winning four of the last five meetings and conceding just twice in that span. Sassuolo’s last victory over Lazio dates back to 2021, and their recent form suggests another uphill battle. Yet, with Berardi’s experience and Pinamonti’s poaching instincts, Sassuolo have the tools to trouble Lazio’s backline, especially if Sarri’s men show signs of rust post-international break. The home crowd could play a pivotal role in lifting the Neroverdi, who desperately need a result to avoid sinking deeper into the relegation zone.

Given the current dynamics, a 2-1 win for Sassuolo isn’t just a bold prediction—it’s a plausible upset. Lazio’s attacking flair may earn them a goal, but Sassuolo’s desperation, coupled with fresh energy from their new signings, could tilt the balance. Expect Berardi to be the difference-maker, possibly from the spot, and Cheddira to make an instant impact off the bench. It’s the kind of match where form bends to narrative, and Sassuolo’s need for redemption might just overpower Lazio’s momentum.

• Summary: Sassuolo is going head to head with Lazio starting on 14 Sept 2025 at 16:00 UTC at Mapei Stadium stadium, Reggio Emilia city, Italy. The match is a part of the Serie A .
