Last season's runners-up AS Roma (2-0-1, 7 points) will try to stay undefeated as they host fellow unbeaten team US Sassuolo (2-0-1, 7 points) at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in a week 4 match of the 2015-2016 Serie A season.
I Giallorossi drew its season opener with Verona before going on a two-game winning streak versus defending Italian champions Juventus and Frosinone.
Against lowly Frosinone, forwards Iago Falque and Juan Iturbe scored a goal each en route to the 2-0 road victory at the Stadio Matusa last Saturday, via Footy Room.
Falque left-footed one a minute before the halftime break while Iturbe found the net in injury time to add another goal for Roma.
Sassuolo won its first two games of the season over Napoli and Bologna before settling for a 2-2 draw with Atalanta in their third match last week at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore.
Team captain Francesco Magnanelli and striker Antonio Floro Flores provided the two goals for I Neroverdi at the 22nd and 40th minutes to force the tie, but Croatian defender Šime Vrsaljko was sent off at the 84th after getting his second yellow card of the game, as per SkySports.
Black and Green manager Eusebio Di Francesco is expected to give the Wolves' Rudi García a tough fight in this one, but Roma will prevail in the end with striker Edin Dzeko leading the offense.
Prediction: Roma wins 2-1.
Roma starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Szczesny; Digne, Manolas, Rudiger, Florenzi; Keita, De Rossi; Falque, Totti, Gervinho; Dzeko
Sassuolo starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Consigli; Peluso, Acerbi, Cannavaro, Longhi; Duncan, Magnanelli, Missiroli; Flores, Defrel, Sansone
