Serie A: Sassuolo vs. Lazio and Torino vs. Como – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
Serie A Round 9 kicks off today with table leaders Lazio visiting Sassuolo, Roma hosting Cagliari, and Como travelling to Torino.
We begin at 18:30 CET [17:30 GMT] with Sassuolo-Lazio.
The Biancocelesti fans are boycotting home games, hoping to push owner Claudio Lotito to sell the club, but they’ve sold out the away end for every away game so far and, today, over 10,000 of their supporters will be at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia.
Lazio’s ideal XI won’t change much. As Sky Sport reports, few doubts remain in defence, with Josip Sutalo likely to rest while Diogo Leite is expected to start for the first time.
Sassuolo will look to Italy internationals Domenico Berardi and Sebastiano Esposito up front.
