Sassuolo were unable to get their first point of the season against Atalanta on matchday one, suffering a 2-1 defeat.
It was the Neroverdi’s fourth consecutive loss on the opening day, and they now risk starting a new Serie A season with defeats in their first two games for the third consecutive campaign.
That would be an unwanted beginning for new manager Alberto Aquilani and would quickly overshadow his debut victory over Cesena in the first round of the Coppa Italia.
However, Sassuolo will be confident of responding at home, having won five of their last seven Serie A matches on their own ground.
Torino, meanwhile, were left with little more than consolation when a stoppage-time goal saw them beaten 2-1 by AC Milan on the opening matchday.
Il Toro could be expected to respond quickly, as they have not suffered consecutive league defeats since February.
New manager Ignazio Abate will take charge of his first Serie A away game here and faces the difficult task of improving Torino’s poor record on the road last season.
They finished with the league’s third-worst away record, largely due to defeats in five of their final seven away matches.
