Juventus have certainly found their feet under Maurizio Sarri, with the hosts winning 13 of their last 14 matches. They come into this game top of Serie A with a point lead over Inter Milan and host Sassuolo who are 14th, three points above the relegation zone. Midweek saw them wrap up top spot in their Champions League group with a game to spare. Going up against Juve’s impressive record of late are a Sassuolo side who have one of the worst away records in the league. Juve have the best home form in the division, with a perfect return from their home matches so far. Another big victory in Turin on Tuesday has marked them out as contenders in Europe, so things are going almost perfectly for the hosts. Juventus have picked up 35 in Serie A this season, only Juventus themselves have ever earned more at this stage: in 2018/19 (37) and in 2005/06 (36). They’ve even managed to stay on target despite a lean scoring spell from Cristiano Ronaldo, with Paulo Dybala stepping up to score three in three games.

Sassuolo have lost three of their five away trips this season, while last weekend brought a 2-1 defeat at home to Lazio. The Neroverdi have had major issues against stronger sides this season, with 10 of their 13 points coming against bottom-six sides. Against teams from 11th and above, Sassuolo have lost seven of eight matches. On top of that, Sassuolo have lost their last seven Serie A games against sides topping the table at the start of a matchday, conceding 17 goals. Recent history points to a tough afternoon for Sassuolo here. Juventus have won all six Serie A meetings against Sassuolo at Allianz Stadium, with an aggregate score of 18-2. The champions have also won their last seven Serie A games against Sassuolo, scoring 21 goals (on average 3 per match). A couple of goals would be handy against a Sassuolo side who are effective in attack.

The visitors have seen both teams score in six of their last seven matches, while they’re on a seven-game scoring streak in the league. the Neroverdi have found the net in six of their seven league defeats so far, while they’ve scored in all but one of their games this term. Meanwhile, Juve have seen both teams score in 67% of their home games, which indicates this will end in a home win and both teams scoring.
