Sassuolo’s first pass through midfield is the part I want to watch against Lazio. Local reporting says Frosinone and Como isolated Matić, while Esposito and Laurienté could return to the starting attack after beginning the Como game on the bench. If Sassuolo gives Matić a second outlet, those forwards can receive earlier; if that outlet disappears, Lazio can find Sassuolo still trying to build. Lazio’s own short turnaround makes its midfield selection part of the same contest.
Our match record has Sassuolo taking seven shots, with one on target, at Como. That does not prove the same pattern will repeat: Canale Sassuolo raises Lipani alongside Matić as one possible adjustment, and Lazionews describes possible Lazio rotation after the Parma match. I’d look at the space around Matić before reading much into either side’s recent scorelines.
