Aiming to continue their improvement after a dismal start to the season, Lazio visit Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday.
Despite winning their most recent games in Europe and Serie A, the Biancocelesti have lost four times already and will return from the international break level on points with their hosts.
Last time out, Maurizio Sarri's men recovered from throwing away a two-goal advantage at home to Atalanta and secured a precious 3-2 win thanks to Matias Vecino's 83rd-minute winner.
The Biancocelesti still languish inside the bottom half of the Serie A standings, but since goalkeeper Ivan Provedel headed a dramatic late equaliser against Atletico Madrid in mid-September, they have lost just once - to Milan at San Siro.
Following their first Champions League victory outside of Rome for two decades, gained via Pedro's last-gasp strike at Celtic Park, Lazio will aim to repeat that feat next Wednesday, when they travel to Rotterdam for a tough test against Dutch champions Feyenoord. First, though, domestic duty awaits.
