Roma vs Sassuolo Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 17/03/2024, 04:36  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Roma will look to continue their top-four charge with a win over relegation-threatened Sassuolo when the sides meet this weekend. This Serie A game will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday. Ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, the hosts are fifth with 48 points, while the visitors are in the relegation zone in 19th place with 23 points. Roma are currently three points behind the top four places, which will guarantee Champions League action next season. The hosts are currently in the Europa League qualification race, and with Atalanta only a point behind, Roma know that staying in the European qualification race is a challenge. Yet, their resurgence under new coach Daniele De Rossi has landed six wins and a draw in eight league games under his charge. They have also progressed to the Europa League quarterfinals, so the confidence is really high.

Sassuolo managed a 1-0 win over Frosinone last time out, a result that puts them two points behind safety. It was a crucial win to halt an eight-game winless run where they lost seven and drew one match. Losing their talismanic striker Domenico Berardi has certainly hit them hard, although they still have a great chance of beating the drop. While questions are still asked about their scoring or lack thereof, the backline hasn’t covered itself in glory. They have already conceded 55 goals in the season, with only two teams conceding more. Sassuolo’s poor away form is one of the biggest reasons why they are in the danger zone, as they have lost seven consecutive away matches coming into this trip.
