Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought win over Juve, Roma will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Sassuolo on Matchday 26. The Giallorossi are eyeing their sixth consecutive win at home ground, and it is no surprise they are seen as favourites to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. Tammy Abraham is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Cremonese, but seeing that they have never defeated Roma in the “Eternal City”, we are tempted to put our money on Joao Moutinho’s troops. Domenico Berardi is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Rome. Gregoire Defrel should continue to lead the line for the visiting team.
