Sassuolo vs Juventus | Expected Lineup

Sassuolo will be looking to bounce back from a tough stretch as they face off against Juventus, who are determined to maintain their push for a top-four finish in Serie A.

The Neroverdi have found themselves in a rut, having gone four matches without a win (D3, L1) following their 1-1 draw at home to Parma. This poor run has seen them drop out of the top eight, though their mid-table standing still represents a positive achievement in their first season back in the top flight.

However, Sassuolo’s recent form at home offers little hope for a swift turnaround. They’ve managed just one win in their last six league outings at the Mapei Stadium (D2, L3), and their two losses to top-five sides this season, both without scoring, suggest Juventus’ visit could come at an inopportune time.

Juventus’ Revival and Recent Record

On the other hand, Juventus are still clinging onto their top-four position but were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Lecce in the previous round.

Despite this setback, Juve’s overall form has been strong, with seven wins in their last nine Serie A matches (D1, L1). Their recent resurgence includes two consecutive away victories to nil, which could set them up well for another strong performance on the road.

The Bianconeri’s record in Tuesday fixtures is particularly impressive, having won seven of their last eight Serie A games on this day (D1), with six of those wins featuring a clean sheet.

Historically, Juventus have had the upper hand over Sassuolo, winning six of the last nine head-to-head encounters, with none of those matches ending in a draw.

Additionally, a majority of these fixtures have been high-scoring, with 14 of the last 15 seeing more than 2.5 goals.

Both teams have seen players shine after the break, with Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti scoring each of his last five goals in the second half, while Juventus’ Jonathan David has also been prolific after halftime, netting his last four goals following the break.
