Roma Attack Targets Sassuolo's Weakened Defense
AS Roma sit third after four wins and a draw in their last five matches while scoring 2.8 goals per game this season. They have produced three or more total goals in seven of ten league games and average the same rate at home. Sassuolo sit 15th after four defeats in five outings and concede 2.4 goals per game away from home with no clean sheets in nine matches. The visitors miss I. Koné, E. Pieragnolo, Fali Candé and D. Boloca, which reduces their defensive cover. Roma have won five of the last ten head-to-head fixtures and score 3.6 goals per game in recent form. Sassuolo have conceded three goals per game on average across their last five outings. At the Stadio Olimpico the home side should find space to attack against a back line missing key players.
