Roma form and stats

3-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Roma so far this season. It’s been three wins in a row for Roma here at Stadio Olimpico, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

A nice win for Roma last time playing, versus Young Boys. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Borja Mayoral, Edin Džeko and Riccardo Calafiori scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Napoli (0-4).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Roma matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and zero defeats (from three games).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Roma as they are travelling to their away game against CSKA Sofia in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.

Sassuolo form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Sassuolo have produced an overall stat of 4-0-0 so far.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Inter with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Hellas Verona.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Sassuolo alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (12 from 4 played). As opposed to that, Sassuolo have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
