The stats donโt lie, and Sassuolo have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 14 goals in all. In defence, Sassuolo seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. We will just have to find out if that trend can be sustained into this next match.
Going into this one, Sassuolo have not won away from home in their last 8 league matches. What a terrible run of away results.

๐ Team News: Roma
Rasmus Kristensen (muscular problems), Renato Sanches (Muscle fatigue), Chris Smalling (Bruise on ankle), Tammy Abraham (Cruciate ligament injury) and Paulo Dybala (Adductor injury) will not be able to play for Roma boss Daniele De Rossi.
In all likelihood, i Giallorossi will possibly go for a 4-3-3 system for the game with Mile Svilar, Rick Karsdorp, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Bryan Cristante, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Tommaso Baldanzi, Romelu Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy.
โน๏ธ Team News: Sassuolo
Due to a mostly available group of players, thereโs only the sole fitness worry for the Sassuolo gaffer to contend with. Domenico Berardi (Achilles tendon surgery) wonโt be in action. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Kristian Thorstvedt and Josh Doig.
Thereโs a good chance that Sassuolo could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation using Andrea Consigli, M. Holmgren Pedersen, Martin Erlic, Gian Marco Ferrari, Mattia Viti, Daniel Boloca, Uros Racic, Nedim Bajrami, Matheus Henrique, Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti.
โก Prediction
Sassuolo may well find it hard to be scoring even one goal against a Roma team who will likely own this match if all goes as we expect it to.
We think that itโs going to be a very comfortable 3-0 victory for Roma when the full-time whistle blows.
