Prediction: 2-2
Lazio
Sassuolo and Lazio face each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A game at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore. The Neroverdi have been scoring goals for fun of late, with over 2.5 goals being netted in each of their last ten league fixtures. Sassuolo are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, and we are positive that they will find the net in Sunday’s clash. Both Djuricic and Obiang are out of contention for the hosts, but Alessio Dionisi has no fresh injury worries.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Sampdoria, but they will have to do it without suspended midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Anyhow, given Lazio’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Ciro Immobile is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Francesco Magnanelli):
Francesco Magnanelli is a Sassuolo midfielder, who was born on 12 November, 1984. His main position is defensive midfield, but he plays as a central midfielder as well. Magnanelli began his senior career at Gubbio and he played for the club in lower leagues from 2000 to 2002.
He was part of Chievo during the 2002/2003 season, but he did not see any game action during his spelt with the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi outfit. The Italian footballer joined Fiorentina in 2003 and he moved to Sangiovannesse one year later. After making seven league appearances for the club, Francesco Magnanelli made probably the best decision of his career when he signed a contract with Sassuolo in June 2015.
He has been playing for the Neroverdi on regular basis and he scored one goal in 34 appearances for the club in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign. His contract with Sassuolo expires on 30 June, 2017.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
