In their first Serie A game post the international break, Lazio host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
The home side suffered a 3-0 loss to Roma in the Derby Della Capitale in their previous outing and will be hoping to bounce back here. Sassuolo are undefeated in their last six league games and secured a 4-1 win over Spezia in their previous league fixture.
Lazio have just two losses at home this season and will be hoping to break their two-game losing streak against the Neroverdi.

There has not been a single goalless draw between the two sides and, given the form of the two sides, we expect that record to be maintained here.
Sassuolo have scored in all but one of their away games this season and could cause some problems for the capital club. The last five games in this fixture have produced conclusive results. Lazio have enjoyed a great run at home this season and should be able to eke out a narrow win here.
