The
Giallorossi's seven-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end away to Napoli last weekend with the hosts claiming a 4-0 win. Roma captain Edin Dzeko was at a loss for words following the encounter and expects his team to bounce back at home to Sassuolo.
“It was a bad night," Dzeko said. "It’s hard to explain, we certainly didn’t want to put in a performance like this. We all expect a lot more from ourselves. We weren’t ourselves, we weren’t the side we’ve been in recent weeks.”
He added: “We weren’t the best side around before and we aren’t the worst now. We need to maintain a balance and make sure we work on what we got wrong. We want to forget this game as soon as possible."
The
Neroverdi fell to their first defeat of the campaign at home to Inter last time out. The visitors proved too strong in a 3-0 win that leaves Sassuolo in third spot on the league standings, a point and three places above Roma while they sit five points adrift of leaders Milan.

The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 4-2 win for the hosts. Sassuolo did get their revenge, beating Roma by the same scoreline in the most recent meeting between the two teams in Emilia-Romagna.
