In a Serie A clash that could shape their ambitions, Roma and Sassuolo meet in the capital on Saturday evening after contrasting midweek fortunes.
Roma reignited their top-four push with a crucial win, while Sassuolo were humbled at home by Juventus.
Roma’s much-maligned forwards delivered in their midweek victory over Lecce, with Evan Ferguson and Artem Dovbyk finding the back of the net. Despite a recent downturn in form, Roma remain optimistic with reinforcements expected in January.
Dovbyk’s injury rules him out for the upcoming clash, while Sassuolo will be without key players due to injuries and AFCON commitments.
Sassuolo’s recent form has been disappointing, with just two points from their last four matches. Despite a historic win at the Olimpico in 2023, they face an uphill battle against Roma.
Roma have dominated this fixture historically, winning 11 of 21 meetings. With a strong defense and renewed attacking confidence, they are favorites to claim another vital win on home soil.
In conclusion, Roma’s defensive strength and attacking prowess should see them secure a home win against Sassuolo. The best odds for this outcome are 11/20 with ZetBet.
