Sassuolo’s home form is shaky: 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses in their last five. Roma's away numbers are impressive: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.
Sassuolo’s attack shines with Berardi but their defence often leaks goals, conceding eight in the last five. Roma show tactical balance, rarely conceding more than once per match.
Key storylines: can Sassuolo’s pressing shake Roma’s calm? Will Roma’s midfield control keep Sassuolo’s lively forwards quiet? Will Roma push for an early goal to keep pressure off their back line?
Expect Roma to dictate the tempo. Sassuolo may threaten on the counter, but Roma’s form and consistency could see them grab the points.
