AS Roma have climbed the Serie A standings quickly in recent months, and they will be looking to continue that progression when they visit Sassuolo on Sunday. The hosts will be looking for a second straight victory in the competition.
Serie A Preview
Jose Mourinho is likely to be appeased by the opening months of the Serie A season, as AS Roma are firmly among the teams in the hunt for a Champions League spot. The Italian giants come into the weekend sitting fifth in the standings, and they could potentially move into the top four with a victory this weekend should results go their way.
Roma are in solid form at present, as they have won two of their previous three. Meanwhile, they have suffered just a single defeat over their last five matches in Serie A. The Italian giants were excellent last weekend, as they secured a 3-1 home victory against Udinese. Paulo Dybala and Stephan El Shaarawy completed the scoring in that fixture with goals in the final nine minutes.
Sassuolo will have the pressure of home advantage this weekend, but they will take confidence from the fact that they picked up a victory last weekend to end a four-game winless run. That victory was their fourth of the campaign, and they could rise into the top half of the standings with a second straight success this weekend.
The hosts were good value for maximum points last weekend, as they came out on top in a seven-goal thriller against Empoli. Domenico Berardi scored the eventual winning goal in that clash in the second minute of injury time. However, a better defensive performance will be required against Roma on Sunday.
Sassuolo vs Roma Head to Head
Roma are winless in their last three matches against Sassuolo, which includes a 4-3 defeat against their rivals in the previous encounter in March. Both of the previous two matches before that defeat ended in draws. In fact, four of the previous six in Serie A between these sides have ended level.
Sassuolo vs Roma Prediction
This could be a tricky fixture for Roma this weekend after Sassuolo’s return to form. Therefore, it could be worth following the trend of draws after four of the previous six between the sides have ended level, including each of the previous two at Sassuolo.
