Roma to Win
Sassuolo can be tricky customers for most of the opponents they face, however, Roma’s form at the Stadio Olimpico since the turn of the year has been imperious and we’re backing Jose Mourinho’s charges to prevail in the Eternal City again on Sunday. Roma have won an impressive eight out of nine games on home soil in all competitions since January 1st and their ability to produce the goods in front of their own fans could get them over the line again when they host Sassuolo.
Both Teams to Score
The visitor’s own confidence comes into play for our second Roma vs Sassuolo prediction, however. Sassuolo have lost just once in seven assignments in Serie A and champions-elect Napoli were the only team to stop them finding the net during that excellent run. It’s also worth pointing out that both teams impact the scoresheet in six of the last seven encounters between Roma and Sassuolo, and a stake in the same direction makes sense again in this one.
