Roma take on the visitors Sassuolo at "Olimpico" on the round 29 of the Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, March 19.
Despite two wins last week, Roma come to the matchup not in the best mood. Roman defeated Lyon this Thursday in the UEFA Europa League match but still were knocked out from the Eurocups as they lost their first match 2:4 on the road. The hosts of the match are currently second in Serie A standings with 62 points with 61-25 goal difference. On their own turf Roma got 12 wins in 13 matches having been defeated just once 1:2 to Napoli in their recent game at home ground.
Early season start and participation in the Eurocups resulted in Sassuolo inconsistent football as they conceded many goals and scored very little lately. After 28 matches Sassuolo occupy the 13th place with 31 taken points which keeps them safe from being knocked out of the Serie A, still it won’t allow them to take a high place. Thus, it’s worth mentioning that despite unlucky season Sassuolo have not lost their recent four away matches in a row, gaining 10 points and staying the unbeaten team on the road in 2017.
Roma have never lost to Sassuolo in head-to-heads with three draws and four wins. I believe that Roman will beat their convenient rival again as they need to take it out on after their recent failures.
Prediction for the match: Roma to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
