Two wins in a row should bring Lazio back from the crisis. In the last meeting, the Romans snatched a 3-2 win against Atalanta. "The Biancocelesti took a quick lead thanks to De Ketelare's auto-goal and Castellanos' goal, but Kolasinac equalised in the 63rd minute. Vesino scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute, which allowed the Eagles to move away from the relegation zone. Before that, Maurizio Sarri's men also secured three points against Celtic thanks to a late goal. It was the game with the Scottish club (according to the allenatore at the pre-match press conference) was supposed to be a turning point for his team. Indeed, things are going well for Lazio so far.

After victories over Juventus and Inter, Sassuolo started to lose points to lower-ranked opponents. In the seventh round "neroverdi" minimally lost to Monza. In the last meeting, the team shared points with Lecce with a score of 1:1. Berardi's goal and a penalty was answered by Krstovic. It should be noted that this meeting was held without one of the main players Mateus Enrique. The player was injured and will be able to return by November.

In the last five meetings Romans kept their gates intact only once. It happened in the match of the sixth round against Torino. Then the Eagles won 2-0. Only one away match of Maurizio Sarri's wards did not end with an exchange of goals. Thus, in the seventh round "Biancocelesti" lost to Milan with a score of 2:0. It is worth noting that in the championship Lazio did not differ only in the gates of "rossoneri" and Genoa (defeat 0:1). Despite the fact that the Romans are expecting an away match against Feyenoord on Wednesday, Sarri is unlikely to rotate the squad significantly. However, the allenatore himself will be watching the game from the stands due to his disqualification. Sassuolo have a similar series: in the last five meetings the team has not scored only once, but conceded in each of them.

Both rivals are clearly unhappy with their tournament position and want to correct it. The statistics of recent meetings and the style of play of the teams hint that this match may well become a goal-scoring match. Should we expect the clubs to exchange goals? Quite.
