Team form
AS Roma
Roma have been in excellent form, winning three of their last five league matches. They defeated Udinese 5-2 away and Cagliari 4-2 at home, showing attacking prowess and consistency. Their only blemish came in a 3-3 draw at Napoli, but they bounced back with a clean sheet win over Genoa. Over these five games they scored 14 goals while conceding just 7, averaging 2.8 goals per game. Coach Gasperini's 3-4-2-1 setup has proven effective, with players like Mateo Soulé and Bryan Cristante contributing both goals and assists. Most recently against Udinese, Roma dominated with 54% possession and 9 shots on goal.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo's campaign has been troubled. They have won only twice in ten games and lost four of their last five matches. Recent defeats to Fiorentina (2-4), Lazio (2-6) and Como (0-2) reveal defensive fragility. Over their last five games, Sassuolo conceded 17 goals while scoring just 7, averaging 3.4 goals against per game. Their most recent outing at home to Fiorentina saw them manage only 58% possession and 2 shots on goal, registering just 1.02 expected goals. The injury list compounds their problems, with four players unavailable including defensive cover.
Head-to-head
Roma's record against Sassuolo is strong. In their last five meetings, Roma won twice at home (3-1 in 2018, 3-1 in 2017) and drew three times. Roma have not lost to Sassuolo in this sequence, and their home record is particularly commanding.
Key factors
Roma's attacking depth and defensive solidity present a significant mismatch against a Sassuolo side struggling defensively and depleted by injuries. Sassuolo's missing players—particularly in defence—leave them vulnerable to Roma's creative midfield and clinical finishing. Roma average 2.80 goals scored per game this season against 1.00 conceded, while Sassuolo concede 2.60 per game. The bookmakers price Roma's home win at 1.31, reflecting the clear disparity in form and resources. Roma's recent 5-2 victory shows they can run up big scores when in rhythm.
Prediction
Roma are heavy favourites to win. They are third-placed, in-form, and face a team in genuine crisis both on the pitch and in the treatment room. Sassuolo have conceded 26 goals in 10 games and lack the defensive organisation to contain Roma's attacking players. Gasperini's side should dominate possession and create multiple clear chances. While Sassuolo may score—they have managed goals in recent games—Roma's superior quality and Sassuolo's injury crisis make a comfortable home victory the most likely outcome.
Roma should win this match convincingly. The visitors' defensive vulnerabilities and injury problems make them easy prey for a side playing with confidence and precision. Expect Roma to control the game, create numerous opportunities, and convert them at a reasonable rate. A high-scoring affair favours the hosts decisively.
