Sassuolo welcome Juventus to the Mapei Stadium in a fixture that pits an open, goal-happy home side against a Juventus outfit that has quietly put together an unbeaten stretch in three of its opening league games. Sassuolo sit mid-table after three rounds, level on points with Udinese, while Juventus occupy fifth spot and have conceded just once through their first three fixtures. The interesting wrinkle here is that these two clubs met twice last season and neither game went the way the bookmakers expected at kickoff, which gives this reunion a bit of unpredictability behind the numbers.
Domenico Berardi remains the heartbeat of Sassuolo’s attack, and his movement between the lines has already produced a goal in the last three matches despite limited minutes. On the other side, Teun Koopmeiners has settled into a box-to-box role for Spalletti, contributing a goal and an assist across his last three appearances and dictating tempo from deep positions.
Hot stat: Sassuolo’s 5-4 win over Frosinone produced nine goals in a single ninety minutes, more than either side has managed in any other fixture on this data set, and it says plenty about how porous the hosts can be defensively even when they are winning.

Sassuolo vs Juventus prediction
We predict Juventus to win, but not without conceding at least once. Sassuolo have scored in every one of their last five outings and their home matches this season have produced goals at both ends, which makes a clean sheet for Juventus unlikely. Juventus have the sharper squad depth and their away form under Spalletti has been built on controlling matches rather than blowing teams away, so a 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline feels the most probable path.
Sassuolo commit fouls at a lower rate than Juventus over the last five matches (48 against 51) yet pick up more yellow cards (6 versus 5), suggesting Aquilani’s side gets punished more harshly for its challenges, perhaps due to timing or positioning in dangerous areas. Juventus complete passes at a slightly higher rate once possession volume is factored in, and their extra corner count (29 against 25) hints at a team that spends more time pressing forward in the final third even away from home. That combination of Sassuolo’s attacking output and Juventus’s territorial control points toward a match with goals on both sides rather than a cagey away performance.

Team Analysis
Sassuolo’s last match ended 2-2 against Bologna, a result that fits their season pattern of trading goals rather than shutting games down. Before that they beat Frosinone 5-4 in a genuinely chaotic ninety minutes, then edged Torino 2-1, lost 1-2 to Atalanta and beat Cesena 3-0. Across those five games Aquilani’s side has scored nine times, which is more than double Juventus’s tally in the same span, but the underlying issue remains defensive consistency, since three of those five matches saw Sassuolo concede multiple goals.
Juventus arrive off a 1-1 draw with Milan, a result that kept their unbeaten run alive without adding to the win column. Before that they beat Parma 2-0, edged Frosinone 1-0, defeated Palermo 2-0 and lost 1-2 to Inter in their toughest test of the run. Spalletti’s men have conceded only four goals in these five fixtures, a much tighter defensive record than Sassuolo’s, and it explains why the market rates them so heavily as favourites here despite modest goal output going forward.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Juventus the favourite
- Moneyline Sassuolo 5.40 | Juventus 1.59
- Draw 3.90
The market leans heavily on Juventus, with implied probability sitting close to 59% against Sassuolo’s 17%. That gap looks a touch generous toward the hosts given how open their defense has been, but the draw price above 3.80 offers some intrigue considering both of the last two head-to-head meetings produced tight or lopsided results with no middle ground. We would not be shocked by a draw, but our stronger conviction sits with Juventus finding a way to win narrowly.
Possible Starting Lineups
Sassuolo possible starting eleven
- GK:Stefano Turati
- DF:Josh Doig, Cas Odenthal, Jay Idzes, Simone Cinquegrano
- MF:Nemanja Matić, Luca Lipani, Cristian Volpato, Vasilije Adzic, Kristian Thorstvedt
- FW:Domenico Berardi
Aquilani sticks with his preferred 4-2-3-1, leaning on Matić’s experience to shield a back four that has looked shaky under pressure. Berardi leads the line as the focal point, with Volpato and Adzic given license to roam and support him from deeper positions.
Juventus possible starting eleven
- GK:Guglielmo Vicario
- DF:Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer, Jhon Lucumi, Zeki Çelik
- MF:Manuel Locatelli, Douglas Luiz, Teun Koopmeiners
- FW:Francisco Conceicao, Nicolás González, Randal Kolo Muani
Spalletti favours a 4-3-3 built around Locatelli’s control in midfield, with Kolo Muani spearheading the attack and Conceicao stretching play down the flank. Bremer’s return to fitness anchors a defense that has already proven the most reliable part of Juventus’s early campaign.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Our punters lean toward a Juventus win with goals at both ends. Sassuolo’s home form has produced entertainment but little defensive discipline, and against a Juventus side that has kept its concession count low across five matches, the visitors should have enough quality to edge a tight contest. Perhaps a 2-1 finish in Juventus’s favour represents the fairest reflection of both teams’ recent output, and to be honest, backing over 2.5 total goals alongside the away win looks like the sharpest combination on the board this week.
