Sassuolo vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-25 14:00.
[p]A resurgent Sassuolo host a Roma side hoping the bubble hasnât burst under new boss Gian Piero Gasperini after a recent dip in form.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A three-match unbeaten run (W2, D1) has helped Sassuolo steady the ship in recent weeks, but with all three results coming against sides starting this round below them, a much larger challenge awaits here. Keeping successive clean sheets at least gives Sassuolo a solid platform to build upon as they face a fourth side to start this round in the top half this season, something theyâll undoubtedly need to lean on given they lost the three prior such games and conceded 2+ goals in each. Thereâs still plenty to be positive about for the Serie A newcomers though, who have posted more points after seven rounds than in any of their last three top-flight campaigns and have only been beaten in home league action this season by reigning champions Napoli (W2).[/p]
[p]Following a run of five wins from his first six matches in charge (L1), the honeymoon period has come to an abrupt end for Gasperini. Three defeats from the four games which followed (W1), including a shock 2-1 UEFA Europa League defeat to Viktoria PlzeĆ on Thursday, are a more realistic yardstick for where Roma are currently at, but those reversals shouldnât detract away from the fact Roma have posted their best seven-game start to a Serie A campaign since 2021/22. Hitting the road may perhaps be timely in search of a response then, as no team has earned more points on the road in Europe’s traditional big-five leagues in 2025 than Roma (32).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sassuolo have only won two of their 22 Serie A H2Hs against Roma (D9, L11). Roma emerged victorious in their last visit to Mapei Stadium, but that was the only win in their previous six trips (D4, L1).[/p]
