Round 20 - Serie A
AS Roma VS Sassuolo Calcio
Stadio Olimpico
11 January, 2026
Overview:
Roma host Sassuolo in a Serie A Round 20 clash where Roma’s stronger overall record, superior home performances and historical dominance in this matchup make them clear favourites, while Sassuolo’s inconsistent recent form and defensive fragility suggest they will rely on transitions rather than sustained control.
Recent H2H results: Roma 1-0 Sassuolo
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-1 in favor of AS Roma.
Roma are likely to control territory with a mid-to-high block, using full-backs and attacking midfielders between the lines, while Sassuolo will probably sit deeper, look for counter-attacks and try to exploit transitions down the flanks against Roma’s advanced wide defenders.
Roma’s stronger league position, better recent form, reliable home record and favourable head-to-head history all tilt the prediction toward a home win, while Sassuolo’s lack of recent victories and defensive instability limit their projected upside to snatching a draw if Roma waste chances.
