Roma vs. Sassuolo preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

January's busy Serie A  schedule rolls on this weekend, with a full fixture list as teams compete in their third game of the week. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 campaign, and matchday twenty sees Sassuolo head to the capital to take on Roma. 

Roma kept on the coattails of the teams above them this week, by bouncing back from defeat at Gian Piero Gasperini's old club Atalanta to secure a win at Lecce in midweek - with Evan Ferguson once again on the scoresheet. 

With Napoli dropping points, it leaves Roma just two points off the top four, despite the inconsistency they've shown over the last few weeks. 

They'll face a Sassuolo side, who find themselves in a bit of a slump following five games without a win. The newly promoted club have adapted to life back in the top flight well this campaign, but have hit a sticky patch, and come into the game off the back of a 3-0 drubbing from Juventus in midweek.
