Roma

Starting with the home side, Roma is eager to recover from their shocking Champions League loss to Manchester United earlier in the week. Despite a disappointing 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford, they have been on a fantastic run domestically this season. Closing out October with an impressive 5-2 victory against Udinese, Roma has garnered praise from many quarters. As they kick off this weekend in third place in Serie A, the team has amassed 24 points from their first 10 matches and remains unbeaten since the start of the campaign in August. Known for their exciting style of play, Roma is a formidable opponent.

After suffering a muscle injury just 20 minutes into the game at Old Trafford, Dutch talent Devyne Rensch will be sidelined. Additionally, they will miss Manu Kone, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Argentine superstar Paulo Dybala this weekend.

After scoring a consolation goal against Manchester United, Donyell Malen, who has been in great form since joining Roma, will lead the attack. Dutch international Marten de Roon, who made a permanent move from Atalanta over the summer, will play in midfield.

Sassuolo

On the other hand, Sassuolo entered this season with aspirations of finishing in the top half but now find themselves caught in a troubling situation. Following a 4-2 defeat at home to Fiorentina, the team has come under scrutiny. They ended October with a dismal 6-2 loss against Lazio, marking their fourth consecutive Serie A defeat with a total scoreline of 16-6. Sassuolo has taken only one point from their last six matches, earning a reputation for severe defensive weaknesses. The squad has conceded 26 goals in their first 10 Serie A fixtures, the worst record among top-tier Italian clubs.
