Romania international Vlad Chiriches scored the consolation goal for Sassuolo.
Parma, on the other hand, lost 3-0 to Marco Giampaolo's Torino on Sunday at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
Goals from young defender Wilfried Singo, Italian centre-back Armando Izzo and Bosnia and Herzegovina international Amer Gojak secured the win for Torino.

Atalanta vs Parma Prediction
Atalanta are one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe, with their attacking style of play earning appreciation. Captain and talisman Papu Gomez's rift with manager Gasperini cast a shadow a few weeks ago. The Argentine now looks set to leave in January, with Inter Milan and AC Milan among the clubs interested.
Parma, on the other hand, have struggled and have lost their last three Serie A games. They sit 16th in the league table, and are only ahead of 18th-placed Spezia by a point. The likes of Yann Karamoh and Andreas Cornelius will have to step up.
Atalanta have a tendency to blow teams away with their relentless attack. Given Parma's current form, we expect Atalanta to win comfortably on Wednesday.
Prediction: Atalanta 4-1 Parma
