Roma vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

• Roma won six, drew one, and lost one of the last eight league games.
• Sassuolo travel to the capital off the back of seven consecutive away defeats.
• We saw three or more goals in each of Roma’s last nine Serie A affairs.

Roma will continue their chase for the top-four finish with the home clash against Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon. The Romans rescued a point via a super-late equalizer from Diego Llorente seven days ago away at Fiorentina. They still have just one defeat in eight league outings under Daniele De Rossi.

Despite drawing at Fiorentina, La Lupa managed to further cut the gap behind fourth-placed Bologna. Rom are now three points below. They are massive favourites to claim the spoils on Sunday against Sassuolo. The visitors are going through rough times in this term of Serie A. Despite a 1-0 win over Frosinone, Sassuolo are still second from bottom in the league table.

I Neroverdi ended their eight-game winless thread with a super-important 1-0 victory over direct relegation rivals Frosinone last Saturday. Kristian Thorstvedt scored the only goal in the game. Sassuolo got extremely lucky in the 90th minute when Kaio Jorge missed a penalty kick for Frosinone.

Recent Meetings

Roma celebrated a 2-1 victory in the reverse game against I Neroverdi in December last year at MAPEI Stadium – Citta del Tricolore.

La Lupa have four wins, five draws, and only a single defeat in the previous ten home affairs against Sassuolo.

Both teams were on target in each of the previous six head-to-head encounters.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina Prediction

Daniele De Rossi could have hardly imagined a more impressive start to his reign as a head coach at Stadio Olimpico. Roma won six of eight league games under his guidance. La Lupa play attractive football. They’ve scored two or more goals in each of eight league outings under De Rossi. The run includes a 2-2 stalemate away at Fiorentina last weekend. Roma are now set to face the team with the third-worst defensive record in the division. Sassuolo allowed 55 goals in 28 league matches so far in the season. Moving forward, I Neroverdi will go into this off the back of seven subsequent defeats on the road. Four of the last six of their losses came by at least two goals difference. You can back Roma to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at the odds of 2.05.

The Over 2.5 goals FT pick is a perfect alternative betting option. Roma are scoring at will while Sassuolo have one of the weakest defensive records in the league. Each of Roma’s previous nine Serie A outings provided three or more goals. I Neroverdi shipped three or more goals in three of the last five league fixtures. We’ve also seen three or more goals scored in all but one of the last six head-to-head meetings between these counterparts.
