Roma vs Sassuolo Predictions

Roma have endured a difficult start to the season having failed to pick up a win in either of their first two outings. Giallorossi played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Genoa on the opening weekend but will have been disappointed not to win as pre-match favourites and their second game, against rivals and fellow Stadio Olimpico dwellers Lazio last time out also ended level with a final score of 1-1.

After winning plaudits for his achievements in both the Ukranian Premier League and the Champions League with Shakhtar Donetsk, Paulo Fonseca was rewarded the Roma job in the summer but he’s still seeking out a first league win for the club as he seeks a return to Europe’s premier competition for La Maggica this season. They’re favourites to pick up all three points here at odds of 7/10 with Unibet.

Sassuolo meanwhile suffered defeat on the opening weekend, going down 2-1 away from home against a Torino outfit who had the benefit of having already started their season with a handful of Europa League qualifiers before that date. Neroverdi bounced back in the best possible fashion before the international break though by thumping Sampdoria by a 4-1 scoreline in their first home game of the season.

European football will also be the aim for Emilia-Romagna based outfit as they look to make a return to the Europa League since their only previous venture ended in a knock-out in the group stages back in 2016/2017. After a respectable finish of 11th last season, can they kick on under Roberto De Zerbi this term to kick on towards the upper reaches of the division? You can back them for a win here at 21/5 with BetVictor.

We’re anticipating another draw for Roma who have perhaps lacked the mental edge required to see out their first two fixtures, which have both ended in draws against Sassuolo and Lazio. Sassuolo are away from home and not as strong on paper, but their confidence will be higher following that 4-1 thumping of Sampdoria before the international break. We can see Neroverdi getting a point here at odds of 16/5 with Betfair.

Goals are surely to be expected though in this game. All four matches involving either one of these sides so far this season have seen both teams score, with Roma smashing in four goals in their opening two games and Sassuolo managing five. Both squads are filled with attacking quality, perhaps at the expense of particularly strong defences, so that’s why we’re backing both teams to score again here at William Hill.
