Roma vs Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico pits a side chasing the summit of the 2026/2027 Serie A season against one sliding towards the relegation places.

Sassuolo arrive 17th and in a proper relegation scrap. They have lost their last four league matches, and the Olimpico is hardly the place to stop the rot.

Roma vs Sassuolo Form
Twelve wins from Roma's last 15 Serie A matches tells you plenty, and the attack is doing the heavy lifting, with Donyell Malen leading the line in sharp form and Matías Soulé supplying the craft. The worry sits at the other end, with at least two goals conceded in each of their last three league outings.
Sassuolo games are rarely dull. Over 2.5 goals has landed in eight of Sassuolo's last 10 Serie A games, mostly because the defence keeps folding. Domenico Berardi and Armand Laurienté are the outlets, both capable of making something out of nothing, and that individual spark is where the visitors' threat comes from.

Roma vs Sassuolo Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Roma win, and our Roma vs Sassuolo prediction comes with goals at both ends. The projections give the hosts a 68.76% win probability on the back of an attack in full flow against a Sassuolo defence that keeps shipping goals. They also point to 3.77 goals in total, because Roma's own back line has been leaky enough to let the visitors in.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game in Rome. Sassuolo have shipped at least two goals in seven of their past eight Serie A fixtures, and that is a defence in genuine trouble. Roma have found the net at least twice in 14 of their previous 15 Serie A matches, so the hosts can carry much of this line on their own.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Roma's attack should score, and Sassuolo's forward line should find a goal against a Roma defence that has leaked. Our projections put both teams scoring at 63.36%, comfortably above the implied probability of the price. With Roma conceding at least twice in each of their last three league outings, Berardi and Laurienté have every reason to fancy their luck.
Roma vs Sassuolo Bet Builder
Our Roma vs Sassuolo bet builder tips lean on the home attack: Donyell Malen shots and shots on target, Roma scoring three or more, and Paulo Dybala anytime.
Donyell Malen over 1.5 shots. He has fired off two or more attempts in each of his last nine Serie A outings, and Roma build their attacks around him.
Malen over 0.5 shots on target. Across his most recent nine Serie A games, he has landed at least one effort on target eight times, and Sassuolo offer little protection.
Roma over 2.5 total home goals. The hosts have put three or more past the opposition in each of the club's last three Serie A fixtures, and this visiting defence is in a bad way.
Paulo Dybala anytime goalscorer. He has scored in four of his previous five Serie A appearances against Sassuolo, but he is listed as injured, so check his status before kick-off.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 21/10 and is as short as 21/10 elsewhere.
