Roma have had a mixed start to the season, winning some games well but also losing a couple, so they look a bit up and down right now. Sassuolo are having a tougher time — they have lost most of their recent matches and only managed a draw, so they come into this one struggling for form.

When these two have met in recent years, the games have usually been close and often had a fair number of goals, with several ending in draws. Given Roma's slightly better recent results and Sassuolo's poor run, Roma look the stronger side here, but it could still be a tight match.
