AS Roma vs Sassuolo Prediction 12.03.2023

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 12th, March 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18.00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

Since the charismatic Portuguese Jose Mourinho took the helm, AS Roma once again looks like a team that is ready to fight for trophies on all fronts. The Romans, after winning the trophy of the first edition of UEFA's new project (Conference League) last season, continue to achieve remarkable results on all fronts, including Serie A. The She-Wolf is currently sitting on a great fourth position, but with the same number of points as AC Milan, which means that it will be a fierce battle until the end of the season for places that lead in the UEFA Champions League.

Sassuolo, which is a standard member of the elite Italian championship for a decade, has never been in a situation where they have to worry about first division status, moreover, several times he was on the verge of placement in Europe. However, Neroverdi are playing one of the weakest campaigns in recent years, but fortunately for them, they are much better than the last three teams in the table and it would be a real surprise to see them in the finish of the season in the fight for survival. They added 30 points to their account, which is even 12 more than Hellas Verona, which is the first below the line (relegation zone).

AS Roma vs Sassuolo Betting Tips: Team1 to Win

The thing that is observable at first glance is that spoils sharing was a very common occurrence in the recent meetings between AS Roma and Sassuolo. One of those draws was seen in the first part of the current season, in early November, when it was 1-1. It was actually the fourth duel in the last five where there was no winner.

What we can notice is that "Stadium Olimpico" was an unsolvable enigma for Sassuolo, considering that they have never celebrated on that turf until now. In fact, Neroverdi knew how to resist the rival (recording five draws), but in the last six meetings they were sent away four times by Roma, including 2-1 last season.

How difficult the exam awaits the guests from Emilia-Romagna becomes clear after looking at Roma's performance at the "Olimpico" in 2023. Since the start of the new calendar year in front of their fans, the Romans are almost perfect. The only quirk in their great home form was the surprising defeat against Cremonese in the Coppa Italia (1-2).

After all, The She-Wolf grabbed eight triumphs from a total of nine games played at home in all competitions. The fact that gives the wind in the back is that Roma tied five triumphs in a row without conceding a goal. Behind Roma is a great week. The victory over Juventus (1-0) was followed by another one in mid-week against Real Sociedad in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League, 2-0.

The players in black and green jerseys, meanwhile, will try to be a difficult rival and a tough bite, considering that they arrive in the Italian capital in a very good mood, having won four of the last six Serie A games (two in a row). A great form that started with a magnificent triumph over Milan, at the San Siro, 5-2.

True, Alessio Dionisi's team have found good form in recent weeks, but overall their performance this year with just three wins from 13 games is not to be commended. AS Roma are grinding everything in front of them at the Olimpico lately and we are confident that they will not stop this time either, and the new victim is Sassuolo.
