The Eagles have won two of their last three home matches in Serie A, while the other game ended in a defeat as the hosts.
“I can only talk about a reaction because we immediately conceded a goal. That goal took the wind out of our sails, and we didn’t have the strength to get back into the game," Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri said after the loss to Roma.
"We just lowered our heads and this made the defeat inevitable. I think it’s a matter of nerves. We made so many mistakes that we normally do not make. It wasn’t normal. There were 90 minutes left to play, but we just couldn’t do it.
“This is a team that reacts when it suffers a defeat like the one we suffered today, so this leaves us hoping for the best in the weeks to come.”

The last meeting between Lazio and Sassuolo in a league game was on 12 December 2021.
