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.
