Context & news

Sassuolo can benefit from home advantage and an open game: the team has scored in each of the official matches mentioned, and its 3-2 win against Juventus illustrates its ability to turn a transitional game into goals. The opposite scenario favors Lazio if it reproduces a controlled first half like against Monza, combining shots from outside the box, combination play and a presence in the penalty area.

Sassuolo could nevertheless exploit the space if Lazio loses control after taking the lead, as happened against Monza. The exact standings as of 19 October are not confirmed.
