We have a full selection of games in the Italian Serie A this week including the meeting between Sassuolo and Juventus at the MAPEI Stadium. The hosts begin the week in 8th place on 56 points while the visitors are in 5th place on 69 points.
Sassuolo come into the match having picked up a 2-1 win in Genoa. It was another good result for Sassuolo who have been in great form recently and the win extended their unbeaten run to 6 games in Serie A.
In addition to the victory over Genoa, Sassuolo have defeated Fiorentina and Sampdoria at home plus Benevento and AC Milan away. There has also been a draw at home against Atalanta, which finished 1-1.
Home form in Serie A shows Sassuolo have been difficult to beat they are undefeated in their last 7 home league games. They have won 3 of those 4 matches and there have been plenty of goals scored at the MAPEI Stadium.
Trends show Sassuolo have scored at least one goal in their last 12 home league games. However, they have been struggling to keep clean sheets and have conceded goals in 10 of their last 11 home Serie A fixtures.
Therefore, both teams have scored in 10 of their 11 most recent home matches and Sassuolo have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 games on home soil.
Juventus travel to the MAPEI Stadium on the back of a hugely disappointing 3-0 loss at home against AC Milan on the weekend. It was a vital fixture in the race to finish in the top four but Juventus were extremely disappointing and having fallen behind in the 45th minute, they conceded two additional goals late in the game.
That result means Juventus have dropped out of the Champions League qualifying positions.
Juventus have been inconsistent of late, winning 4, drawing 2, and losing 3 of their last 9 Serie A matches. Their away form in the league shows Juventus have been struggling to win games and they have picked up just two victories from their 7 recent away Serie A fixtures.
Trends show Juventus have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 Serie A games but they have a good record against Sassuolo, remaining undefeated in their last 10 league meetings.
Looking ahead to the team news and Sassuolo are expected to be without defender Filippo Romagna due to a knee injury. Every other player should be fit and available for the hosts.
Juventus do not have any injury or suspension concerns ahead of this game and Andrea Pirlo has a full squad available to him.
This has the makings of being a tough game for Juventus and they are unlikely to come away with maximum points given their recent form.
Sassuolo will see this as a great opportunity to get one over on the defending champions but the game could end level, with both teams scoring.
