Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 1-1 draw with newly-promoted champions Inter, Lazio will be aiming to finish the season in style when they take on Sassuolo on Matchday 38. The Biancocelesti missed out on a spot in the Champions League, but they will represent Italy in the Europa League next term. Both Luis Alberto and Felipe Anderson are pushing for a start, while Nicolo Casale serves a one-game ban. Alessio Romagnoli is back from suspension.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, failed to secure the Serie A survival. As the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Rome, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the visiting side, Matheus Henrique is banned for the match, while forward Samu Castillejo remains on the sidelines with a knee injury. In their last meeting in the “Eternal City” Lazio defeated Sassuolo 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
