AS Roma vs Sassuolo prediction

THE FORECAST

Roma carry a moderate rotation risk having played Champions League just four days ago, with an extensive injury list including Pellegrini, Dybala, Cristante and Svilar, yet they sit third with a strong 2.8 goals-per-game average and five clean sheets against a Sassuolo side that has conceded 16 goals in four matches and kept zero clean sheets all season. Sassuolo's own injury crisis is severe — 14 players unavailable including Berardi, Pinamonti and Volpato — leaving them desperately short in attack and defence, and their form of five consecutive defeats makes it hard to see them extracting a result here. Mild weather conditions (9–19°C, light rain) are neutral for both sides, and Roma's home advantage combined with Sassuolo's catastrophic defensive record firmly tips the balance toward the hosts.
