The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Sassuolo lock horns with Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side in an important clash at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore on Saturday.
Sassuolo vs Lazio Preview
Lazio are currently in 13th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Biancocelesti edged Atalanta to a narrow 3-2 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Neroverdi were held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
