Sassuolo vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (26 October)

The return to the elite is going well for Sassuolo who is currently keeping a good distance from the fight so as not to go down. The promoted team now occupies 9th place in Serie A with 10 points gleaned from 7 matches. In confidence, Domenico Berardi's teammates have only lost in the den of Inter 2-1 in the last 5 days, for 3 victories and 1 draw. Fallers of Udinese 3-1 and Hellas Verona 0-1 before the international break, they were however slowed down last weekend. Sassuolo conceded the share of points at poorly ranked Lecce 0-0.

Under the orders of master tactician Gian Piero Gasperini this season, Roma aims to secure a folding seat for the Champions League. The start of the championship has been rather positive so far since the Louve club is currently 4th in Serie A and is a small point behind the leader. After winning in turn against Lazio 0-1, Hellas Verona 2-0 and Fiorentina 1-2, the Giallorossi missed a great opportunity to move to the top of the standings last weekend. Despite the support of their fans, they fell against Inter 0-1. 

Historically, Roma have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of their last five meetings with Sassuolo. The most recent encounter ended in a narrow 1-0 win for Roma, and the Giallorossi will be keen to replicate that success. Sassuolo, however, have shown they can be stubborn opponents, especially at the MAPEI Stadium. Tactical battles are expected to unfold in midfield, where Sassuolo’s Kristian Thorstvedt and Roma’s Edoardo Bove will likely clash. With both teams fielding attacking lineups and capable finishers, the match promises to be a tightly contested affair, with moments of brilliance likely to tip the balance.

Considering current form, squad dynamics, and historical context, a 2-1 victory for AS Roma seems the most plausible outcome. Roma’s defensive solidity and attacking efficiency give them the edge, but Sassuolo’s home grit and recent scoring form suggest they won’t go down quietly. Expect a tense first half, with Roma gradually asserting control and finding the net through Soulé and Dybala. Sassuolo may respond with a late goal from Pinamonti, but it’s unlikely to be enough. The prediction stands: AS Roma to win 2-1 in a match that blends tactical nuance with flashes of individual brilliance.
