AS Roma will welcome Sassuolo to the Stadio Olimpico this Saturday night, with Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad desperate to collect vital points amid recent inconsistent results and get back into the top four in the table.
Roma recovered from their Atalanta loss by securing a solid 2-0 triumph on the road against Lecce. Evan Ferguson netted the opener in the 14th minute via a sharp effort from distance, with Artem Dovbyk sealing it late as a substitute. The Giallorossi hold fifth position in Serie A.
