Lazio vs Sassuolo: match statistics
The match promises to be very evenly contested, which points towards a draw. Lazio is showing poor form with just 0.6 points per match in the last five games and hasn't won any of them. Sassuolo, on the other hand, is in excellent shape, earning 2.4 points per match and winning four of their last five games. However, Lazio's home statistics show a certain advantage - 38% home wins and a positive goal difference (+2). Sassuolo has an identical win percentage away (38%), but their defense is more susceptible to conceding (xGA 1.64 vs xG For 1.22). Considering the hosts' poor form, the visitors' good streak, and balanced head-to-head statistics, a draw seems the most probable outcome of this encounter.
