Roma - Sassuolo team news and expert analysis
Last summer, the capital club lured Gasperini to the coaching post. Under his guidance, they finally managed to break into the top four, even finishing third. They are maintaining that level this season as well. They defeated their most recent opponents, Cagliari and Udinese. In addition, the Italians have finally returned to the Champions League, although they only picked up their first win in the competition in the third round. They then led Manchester United 2-0, but somehow ended up losing.
The team from the "Mapei - Città del Tricolore" spent the 2024/2025 season in Serie B, but managed to return immediately, finishing 11th with 49 points. Grosso left the project in the summer, but his replacement, Aquilani, has seen his team lose half of its matches, despite making a promising start. They also conceded plenty against Lazio and even Fiorentina.
Roma are scoring 2.8 goals per game and conceding far fewer, just 1. Sassuolo, recently promoted to Serie A, average 1.6 goals scored and 2.6 conceded.
