Sassuolo vs Juventus: Match Prediction
At home Sassuolo try to play boldly and prefer to spend as much time as possible in attack. In the last eight home Serie A matches the team failed to fail to score only twice — in matches against Torino and Roma. At the same time, the club is not reliable in its own penalty area: in the seven previous home league games the side did not keep a clean sheet even once.
The visiting team only rarely faces difficulties when breaking down opponents' defenses and even scores regularly on the road. In the last 12 away Serie A fixtures the team left the field goalless only twice. At the same time Juventus cannot boast solid defensive performances: in 12 of the last 15 away matches the club failed to keep a clean sheet.
Prediction: Both teams to score
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from their previous match in this competition.
