There is an interesting clash coming up in Serie A on Sunday for football betting as Sassuolo hosts Lazio.
It looks like being a fairly evenly-matched contest with Sassuolo having put together a four-match unbeaten streak of league form.
With Lazio’s recent wobbles in mind as well, the visitors could face a tricky afternoon.

Sassuolo Preview – Can Sassuolo nab the home win?
It is a current four-match undefeated streak of form that Sassuolo find themselves on in the top flight.
They have gone W1 D3 in that run of Serie A fixtures.
But that warrants some further examination because they have faced some strong opposition in that run.
The one win that Sassuolo took in that sequence was away from current leaders AC Milan.
They also played out a draw with third-placed Napoli in the sequence.
So Sassuolo are not a pushover at the moment and they are a quote of 6/4 in the match outright to grab the win* (odds recorded 21:01 GMT on December 10th 2021).
The big positive for Sassuolo has been their event scoring form.
They have scored at least two goals in each of their last five league fixtures and in eight of their last nine.
Given Lazio have not looked particularly great at the back, this could be a good chance at three points for Sassuolo.
Sassuolo claimed a 2-0 home win over Lazio in last season’s Serie A clash.
Their overall home and away recent head to head form against Lazio is W2 D2 L2.
It may be worth taking a look at over 3.5 goals cropping up in this one at a quote for 111/8* (odds recorded 21:01 GMT on December 10th 2021).
Each of Sassuolo’s last ten league home games have gone above 2.5 goals.
Each of their last five home and away games have made it above that bigger 3.5 goal line.
The trend is there.
Granted Sassuolo are winless in three at home and the only two home wins that they have recorded have been against teams in the bottom five.
But they don’t look like a forlorn hope for the weekend.
Lazio Preview – Can the visitors hold out?
A tricky test then could lie ahead for Lazio in Serie A action on the weekend then.
Some recent wobbles in defence will be of concern for Lazio.
They have conceded in each of their last four league games.
Twice within that run of games, they have conceded 4 goals in a fixture.
Overall on their top-flight travels this season, Lazio have conceded an average of 2.25 goals per game.
There has not been a clean sheet taken by them.
In the match outright there is a quote of 6/4 on Lazio claiming the three points* (odds recorded 21:01 GMT on December 10th 2021).
In their last road game, Lazio nailed a 3-1 success at Sampdoria.
That snapped a winless streak of six away games that they had been on.
So it’s not been a convincing season for them on their travels by any stretch of the imagination.

Whichever way we look at this, it looks as if the goals will be flying around in it.
