Roma vs Sassuolo Prediction and Betting Tips | March 17th 2024
Roma will host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form under head coach Daniele De Rossi and are now on the hunt for the Champions League spots. They played out a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in their last league outing, with Diego Llorente scoring a late equalizer before picking up a 4-1 aggregate victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the last-16 of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
Roma sit fifth in the league table with 48 points from 28 matches and will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Sunday.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, have endured a difficult league campaign and are currently fighting for survival in Serie A. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a narrow 1-0 victory over Frosinone, with Kristian Thorstvedt scoring the sole goal of the game just before the hour mark.
The visitors sit 19th in the league table with just 23 points picked up so far and will be desperate for a win this weekend as they look to exit the drop zone.
