Prediction: 1-2
Lazio Roma
Sassuolo were on the verge of sharing the spoils with Bologna at the weekend, but the Rossoblu eventually scored a late winner and picked up all three points from the match. The Neroverdi extended their winless run in the Serie A to seven games, therefore, coach Giuseppe Iachini feels pressure ahead of the visit of Lazio. The Biancocelesti are likely to stick to their attacking style of play as they are eyeing a place in the Champions League, but beating Sassuolo on the road is easier said than done. All eyes will be on Lazio duo Immobile - Sergej Milinkovic-Savic when the two teams face each other at MAPEI Stadium - Citta del Tricolore and we believe that they are going to lead the capital club to yet another important victory. The Neroverdi do not seem to be on top of their game at the moment and they are unlikely to grab something from Sunday's football match.

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.
