Roma’s unbeaten home record and Malen’s scoring numbers meet a Sassuolo side with no away win and five listed absences.
Before kickoff
Can Sassuolo contain Roma at the Olimpico?
Roma’s home record is the clearest answer to the question before kickoff: they have won 4 and drawn 1 of their home games this Serie A season, scoring 14 goals. Sassuolo have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 4 away, conceding 12 goals in those games.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 19:45 UTC at Stadio Olimpico. The provisional table has Roma third with 24 points from 10 games and Sassuolo 17th with 8. Roma are 16 points ahead of Sassuolo, while Lazio lead with 28 points.
Form and attacking responsibility
Roma’s listed 10-match form contains seven wins and three draws, with no loss. Sassuolo’s 10-match sequence includes five losses, alongside two wins and two draws. That contrast makes D. Malen especially important for the hosts: he has scored 8 goals and supplied 1 assist in 9 league appearances. M. Soulé adds 3 goals and 3 assists in 10 appearances.
Roma have used 3-4-2-1 in 7 matches, while Sassuolo have used 4-3-3 in 7. Sassuolo will be without I. Koné, E. Pieragnolo, Fali Candé, D. Boloca and Y. Paz, each listed as missing the fixture with the supplied conditions.
The concrete question at kickoff is whether Sassuolo’s 4-3-3 can limit Roma’s home scoring output without conceding early.
