Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Sassuolo and Roma take on each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Against all odds, the Neroverdi suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Sampdoria, with the team extending their winless run in the league to three games. Sassuolo are desperate to return to winning ways, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Roma.
Both Raspadori and Scamacca are banned for the hosts, while Filip Djuricic remains in the recovery room. The Giallorossi, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Genoa. Jose Mourinho’s troops are eager to stay in the Champions League race, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Zaniolo is sidelined through suspension, while Spinazzolla has yet to overcome his injury.
