Why Home Team Advantage Is Important in Football Betting

Despite being placed within the highly-averred top-four mix, the visitors are on thin ice at the moment. They are just whiskers off from Atalanta who are really hot on their tails. To maintain their position, Fonseca’s men have no choice but to keep stringing up wins game after game.

It will be considered an underachievement if the men from the capital fail to secure Champions League football at the end of the campaign. As such, these cluster of players will be desperate for a win here to steer further away from La Dea.

With a game against struggling Sassuolo on the cards, Roma will be looking to get one over their weak opponent in a bid to continue their push for a top-four finish.

Sassuolo vs AS Roma Team News

Away at Sampdoria on the last match-day, Sassuolo were tipped by the bookmakers to edge out the game slightly but fell short of expectations. Despite huffing and puffing for large parts of the game, the Neroverdi were made to settle for a goalless draw.

There were honors even at the Luigi Ferarris Stadium as the referee brought the game to a close, both sides failing to nick that ultimate winning goal.

However, Sassuolo must have been happy with the result given their numerical handicap after Federico Peluso was given his marching orders by the referee in the 25^th minute. Prior to that, the Neroverdi snapped their three-game losing run with a 2-1 home win over equally unpredictable Torino.

Following the stalemate at Sampdoria, Roberto de Zerbi’s men remain sixteenth on the Serie A ladder, a whopping eight points clear of the relegation places.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side have logged four wins, one draw and five losses at the MAPEI Stadium, averaging 2.10 goals per bout and shipping 1.90 in return. They have claimed seven points from their last five home games.

Despite being shorthanded, the Giallorossi completely outplayed Lazio in 190th edition of the Derby Della Capitale as they took sixteen shots and generated eight goal-scoring chances. For all their pressure, AS Roma failed to land that major knockout blow.

The Roman outfit have recorded mixed results in their last five league matches (2W, 1D, 2L), but their performances have been good and getting better with every game. They are still sitting at fourth place in the standings, seven points behind city rivals Lazio and a point ahead of Atalanta.

Roma are one of the most successful away teams in the competition with six wins, three draws and one defeat, netting 1.80 goals per match, whilst conceding 0.70. They have won three of their last five road games.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Sassuolo: Vlad Chiriches, Gregoire Defrel, Alfred Duncan, Gian Marco Ferrari, Federico Peluso.

Sassuolo vs AS Roma Predictions

Both teams are attacking-minded and we’re in for an exciting clash at the MAPEI Stadium. Though Sampdoria failed to break the Neroverdi’s defense last weekend, AS Roma are a much stronger side and should have no struggles in breaching this opponent.

They have managed a fantastic record at the MAPEI Stadium in recent years and are very likely to keep that run going this weekend. Count on Paulo Fonseca’s men to claim the three points on Saturday.
