Roma are flying while Sassuolo search for answers

Roma enter Matchday 11 sitting third in Serie A, unbeaten after ten league games and carrying 24 points. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team have scored a league-high 28 goals, while their latest domestic outing produced a powerful 5-2 away win over Udinese. At home, Roma have averaged more than three goals per game, turning the Olimpico into a place where visiting defenders rarely enjoy a quiet evening.

There is one possible complication: Roma played Manchester United in the Champions League during the week. Gasperini may need to manage tired legs, but his high-intensity 3-4-2-1 system should still push the wing-backs forward and keep Sassuolo under pressure. Paulo Dybala and Manu Koné have returned to training and could strengthen the squad, although captain Lorenzo Pellegrini is expected to miss out with a thigh injury.

The goalkeeper position also deserves attention. Mile Svilar is unavailable with a broken finger, while Pierluigi Gollini has been dealing with a back problem. If Gollini is not ready, third-choice goalkeeper Devis Vásquez may start. That uncertainty helps explain why a Sassuolo goal is not impossible.

Sassuolo arrive in much worse form. After an encouraging opening to the campaign, including a remarkable 3-2 win over Juventus at betting odds of 5.40 on September 13, they have fallen toward the relegation places. Four straight defeats and 12 goals conceded across the latest three games tell a painful story. A 6-2 loss to Lazio and a 4-2 home defeat against Fiorentina have placed manager Alberto Aquilani under serious pressure.

Aquilani has called for unity during this difficult period, but his selection options are limited. Fedde Leysen is out with an ACL injury, Ismaël Koné has a serious leg injury, and Kristian Thorstvedt is suspended. In short, Sassuolo need to become compact quickly. Rome is not usually the ideal city for emergency defensive repairs.
