Lazio is clinging to its seventh place in the Italian Serie A table, but could be in for one of the biggest fights it's had all season against Sassuolo, who has had one of the league's most dangerous attacks in recent games. The Black and Greens have scored 14 goals over their last five matches, while Lazio has scored and conceded five goals each way over its last four outings. Sassuolo has competed in Serie A for the last nine years, but has only finished in the league's top seven spots once. You can see if Sassuolo continues its push to return on to the top seven on Saturday, when you stream all the action on Paramount+.

Italian Serie A picks for Sassuolo vs. Lazio

Before you tune in to Saturday's match, you need to see the Italian Serie A picks from soccer insider Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. Sutton has also been on a roll with his best bets, going 17-9 in his last 26 soccer picks.

For Lazio vs. Sassuolo, Sutton is backing both teams to score at -170 odds. The case for Sassuolo to score is simple: Over its last five matches, Sassuolo came away with four wins and a draw and has battered opponents offensively. Leading the attack for the Black and Greens are attacking midfielder Domenico Berardi and forward Gianluca Scamacca. In his last three league matches, Berardi scored twice against Venezia and put in another two against Spezia. Scamacca also has a goal in his last three appearances for his club.

Lazio is coming off of a disappointing 3-0 loss to Roma on March 20, but has had nearly two weeks to get its affairs in order. Lazio had scored in the seven games before that loss, and during that run, Ciro Immobile scored five times. Among the top 10 teams in the Italian Serie A standings, Sassuolo and Lazio have allowed the most and third-most goals, respectively. Considering each club's situation at this point of the season and their history of scoring goals on each other, the final score should feature both sides following the final whistle.
