Automatically translated from Polish · AI-generated from GolVolt data and the sources listed below the article

Number of the match 8 That is how many matches in a row Lazio have gone without defeat, and they scored in every one of them.

Lazio unbeaten and top of the table

Lazio have scored in eight matches in a row. After eight rounds they have seven wins and one draw. A 2–1 win over Parma in Rome gave them sole possession of top spot: Kenneth Taylor opened the scoring in the 50th minute, and in the 58th Diego Carlos scored an own goal. Simone Lontani got Parma's goal in stoppage time. Lazio also won 3–0 in Turin against Juventus, with goals from Provstgaard (37th minute), Isaksen (66th) and Dele-Bashiru (89th). That level them on points with Inter at the top of the table.

Sassuolo without a win in their recent matches

On 11 October Sassuolo drew 1–1 with AC Milan at the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. Rabiot put AC Milan ahead, and Odenthal equalised in the 68th minute. On Friday 16 October, in Matchday 7, Sassuolo lost 2–4 at home to Frosinone. In the match played on 24 October they lost 0–2 to Como, with Tasos Douvikas scoring both goals in the 49th and 60th minutes. Sassuolo have one point from their last three rounds.

Injuries and the top scorers of both sides

Sassuolo will be without Ismaël Koné and Fedde Leysen through injury. Lazio cannot call on Albert Gudmundsson, Alessio Furlanetto, Andrea Pinamonti and Nicolò Rovella, who are also injured. Lazio's top scorer in Serie A is Davide Frattesi, with 3 goals in 8 matches. For Sassuolo, Vasilije Adžić leads the way: 3 goals and 1 assist in 7 league matches.
