Sassuolo vs Lazio team news and expert analysis
After returning from a year in Serie B, the club from the "Mapei - Città del Tricolore" finished eleventh with 49 points. However, Grosso, who guided them to that result, left the club in the summer. His replacement, Aquilani, has made a decent start: his new charges remain in the cup competition and were collecting points at a healthy rate in Serie A. They have since lost momentum, including defeats to Frosinone and Como.
The capital club slipped to ninth in the spring and lost the cup final to Inter. Gattuso took over as head coach in the summer. He endured a disastrous debut, losing to Mantova in the cup. After that, however, his side stayed among the leaders in the league, drawing only with Milan while winning the majority of their matches. Parma were also beaten 2-1 in the previous round.
Berardi and company score an average of one and a half goals while conceding two. The Romans average two goals scored per match and concede far fewer — just 0.63.
