Sassuolo's picture is patchier over the same stretch: two wins, one draw and two defeats, and they've shipped goals in every one of those matches without ever really shutting up shop at the back.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sassuolo vs Lazio

Head-to-head

These two have met plenty of times over the years, and it's usually been close. The most recent meeting back in March saw Lazio win 2-1 at home, while the one before that went the other way, Sassuolo winning 1-0 away.

Further back the head-to-head has swung both directions, so there's no strong psychological edge here, just a fixture that tends to be tight.

Where they sit

Lazio are third with 13 points from five games, a strong early return. Sassuolo are tenth with seven points from the same number of matches.

Both sides have scored goals - Lazio eight, Sassuolo nine - so the gap in points looks more about consistency at the back than a lack of firepower going forward. It's still only five games in, so the table can move plenty from here.

The points gap owes more to defending than to attacking output.

Players to watch

D. Frattesi has been Lazio's main source of goals, with three in his last five appearances, while Vasilije Adžić has matched that tally for Sassuolo and chipped in with an assist too.

Zaccagni and Tavares have been Lazio's main creators, each setting up two goals in the same span. Zaccagni and Sassuolo's Lipani have both picked up two yellow cards recently, so either could be a booking away from a suspension.

Home strength versus away form

Sassuolo have actually won both their home Serie A games in this recent sample, beating Juventus and Torino, even though their away form has been shaky. Lazio, on the other hand, have won every away Serie A game in that same window.

It's a small sample either way, but it suggests neither side's league position tells the full story. Lazio's defence has also been notably tighter, conceding three in five games compared to Sassuolo's nine, which could matter if this one opens up.
