Sassuolo — Roma : Match Preview and Prediction for October 26,2025

The “Neroverdi” made a swift return to Serie A after relegation, which was somewhat expected. However, the hosts started the new season rather sluggishly, and it’s only recently that the “dark greens” have begun to pick up positive momentum in terms of results and game quality.

Following a string of setbacks, Fabio Grosso’s squad has now gone three consecutive rounds without defeat. Sassuolo first defeated Udinese 3-1 at home, then Berardi and his teammates secured a 1-0 away victory against Verona, and in their latest fixture, they managed a goalless draw against Lecce’s Di Francesco in Apulia. It’s clear that Sassuolo is gradually finding its footing again in Serie A, and Grosso’s team will undoubtedly put up a strong fight against the Romans. Boloca, Paz, and Pieragnolo will be unavailable for this match.

It’s been a particularly tough week for Gasperini’s Roma, who appear to be experiencing a dip in form. The “Giallorossi” first suffered a 0-1 home defeat to Inter in the league last weekend. Although they matched their opponents’ performance, an early goal conceded from Boni ultimately influenced the outcome.

Subsequently, Roma unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Czech side Plzeň in the Europa League, a result that likely left Gasperini regretting his decision to rotate the squad. Svilar conceded from two long-range shots, and the Romans couldn’t fully recover after the break, managing to pull back only one goal. With such a demanding fixture schedule and less-than-convincing performances, they now travel to face Sassuolo. Angelino, Bove, and Kone will not feature for Roma against the “Neroverdi.”
