Juventus vs Sassuolo Prediction

In their previous Serie A fixtures, the two sides endured contrasting fortunes. The Bianconeri secured a 2-0 win over Verona, with wo of their January signings in Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria finding the back of the net on their debuts. The Neroverdi, on their other hand, suffered a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Sampdoria, which was their second loss in the last four games.

While Sassuolo have outscored the hosts in Serie A this season, Massimiliano Allegri's men are undefeated at home since November across all competitions and should secure a narrow win here.

Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Sassuolo
