Form
Roma have scored 15 in their last four league games (3-3 at Napoli, 2-0 v Genoa, 4-2 v Cagliari, 5-2 at Udinese). Sassuolo have lost three straight, conceding 12 (0-2 at Como, 2-6 v Lazio, 2-4 v Fiorentina).
Context
Roma are also playing in the Champions League this season, so some rotation is possible, and Koné and Dybala are unavailable or doubtful. Sassuolo's defence has fallen apart.
What's at stake
Roma are chasing the top four; Sassuolo need to stop the slide before it becomes a relegation fight.
Betting market
Roma 1.30, draw 6.00, Sassuolo 9.00; over 2.5 at 1.36. The market is more bullish on Roma and on goals than the model.
From the model to the call
Model 1.99-0.87 → 2.20-0.95: Roma go up for their scoring run and Sassuolo's collapsing defence (backed by the market), and Sassuolo get a small bump because Svilar is out and Gollini starts in goal.
