2026-2027 Serie A: Roma vs. Sassuolo, Probable Lineups

Roma returns to the field in Serie A to face Sassuolo in a match for Matchday 11 of the 2026-2027 season. The match is set for Saturday, November 7, at the Stadio Olimpico, where the Giallorossi will be looking to secure crucial points to stay in contention for the top spots, while the Emiliani aim to continue their strong run and give one of the tournament’s most ambitious teams a run for their money.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team, currently third in the standings with 24 points and four points behind league-leading Lazio, is looking to put its European disappointment behind it. The Giallorossi are coming off a 3-2 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford, which came after they had held a two-goal lead.
The situation is different for Alberto Aquilani’s Sassuolo, which sits fourth from the bottom in the standings and is looking for points to move away from the relegation zone. The Neroverdi are coming off a loss to Fiorentina and will look to halt Roma’s momentum.
Gasperini is expected to stick with his usual 3-4-2-1 formation, with Malen as the main striker and Soulé and Rodrigo Mora playing behind him. In defense, Mancini, N’Dicka, and Hermoso are expected to start. Aquilani, on the other hand, is likely to opt for a 4-3-3, with Berardi, Sebastiano Esposito, and Laurienté leading the attack.
Probable lineups:
ROMA (3-4-2-1): Gollini; Mancini, N’Dicka, Hermoso; Molina, Cristante, Pisilli, Lulli; Soulé, Mora; Malen. Coach: Gasperini.
SASSUOLO (4-3-3): Turati; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Candè, Doig; Thorstvedt, Matic, Bakola; Berardi, Sebastiano Esposito, Laurienté. Head Coach: Aquilani.
