Serie A leaders Lazio travel to the Mapei Stadium on Tuesday 27 October, with kick-off at 17:30 UK time. The match is shown on DAZN.
Lazio arrive unbeaten and on a winning run, while Sassuolo are struggling for results. Here is what we know about form, absentees and the bookmakers' view.
Lazio form and league position
According to goal.com Italy, Lazio top Serie A on 22 points and are unbeaten, with four straight wins. Gattuso's side come into this fixture as the form team of the division.
Our data feed has no recent finished fixtures or head-to-head records for either club, so we will not draw conclusions from past meetings or scorelines. The current league picture is the clearest guide we have.
Sassuolo under Aquilani: a difficult run
Sassuolo, coached by Alberto Aquilani, have taken one point from their last four league games. That is a sharp contrast with their visitors and puts pressure on a home side looking for a response.
The data provider lists several players as missing through injury, including Boloca, Idzes, Kone, Leysen and Paz. Older reports also mention a thigh problem for Volpato, but that coverage is about 12 days old and may be outdated. The probable XI reported by goal.com Italy includes Muric in goal, with Adzic and Berardi in the side.
Lazio team news and likely line-up
Pinamonti is listed as questionable with illness and is reported as not fully fit, so Noslin is expected to lead the line. Furlanetto, Gudmundsson, Marusic and Rovella are listed as missing through injury.
The probable Lazio XI reported includes Mandas, Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor, Isaksen and Zaccagni. Official line-ups usually appear about 30 minutes before kick-off, so treat all of this as provisional.
What the bookmaker odds suggest
Bet365 price Lazio as favourites at 2.15, with Sassuolo at 3.25 and the draw at 3.50. In the goals market, Over 2.5 is 1.67 and Under 2.5 is 2.20, while both teams to score is 1.53 for yes and 2.38 for no.
Odds reflect the bookmaker's view and margin, not a certain outcome, and betting always carries risk. Use them as one input alongside form and team news.
