Lazio vs. Sassuolo 4/2/22 Serie A Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Lazio is hosting Sassuolo at Stadio Olimpico in round 31 of the Italian Serie A. Lazio is a fantastic team in the attacking end, they have been one of the most effective teams this season, but their defense is horrible. Sassuolo is pretty much the same, but they have been a bit more consistent lately.

Lazio has won only 2 of their last 7 games, and they lost in the Derby Della Capitale to Roma just before the international break, without scoring a goal I might add. Lazio is still on the hunt for the Europa League game, which is now only 2 points away from them. With 49 points, Lazio is in 7^th place, they have scored 58 goals so far while conceding 45 goals. Of those 58 goals, Immobile has scored 21 goals, while Pedro and Milinkovic-Savic have added 8 goals each. Milinkovic-Savic has added 8 assists as well. Lazio might be in the hunt for the Europa League in Serie A this season, but as far as the Europa League goes this season, Lazio has gotten knocked out by Porto in that playoff round. If Lazio can keep their offense as is, and if they could improve their defense by even a little bit, they would have been one of the top teams in Serie A.

Sassuolo has been outstanding lately, they have been scoring goals like crazy, and they are undefeated in their last 6 games. Of those 6 games, Sassuolo has 4 wins and 2 draws, alongside 16 scored goals, and 7 conceded goals. Theoretically, Sassuolo could still reach Europe, but the competition for that is really strong, and I’m afraid Sassuolo doesn’t have the defense for it. Sassuolo has conceded 49 goals in 30 games. As far as their offense goes, Sassuolo is having a lot of fun, and they are one of the top offensive teams in the league with 55 scored goals. Berardi is Sassuolo’s top goalscorer with 14 goals and 12 assists. Scamacca has added 13 goals. Sassuolo is a type of team that usually steps up against the big boys, and the good news for them is they are facing pretty much all of them until the end of the season. When Sassuolo is playing, they are having fun, they are scoring goals, and they look cool doing it.

There is an obvious choice here, and that is goals, on both sides. Neither team has a good defense, and I just don’t see either of them keeping a clean sheet. I’m taking goals on both sides.
