“We need to be more organised than we have been in recent games, otherwise we lose balance," Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri said after the win over Sampdoria.
 
"So today I asked the players to not lose their positions. At times, the team can get a bit too instinctive and lose their shape.
 
“We passed the ball with quality in the first half and it could’ve torn any opponent apart. Samp are a good squad, so this result should not be underestimated.”
 
The last meeting between Sassuolo and Lazio in the league was on 23 May 2021.
 
Sassuolo claimed a narrow 2-0 victory over Lazio in a match which was played at the MAPEI Stadium which is also known as Città del Tricolore.
