- Sassuolo are unbeaten at home in Serie A 2026/2027, winning one from one and conceding just once.
- Sassuolo have won two of their last three home games against Juventus FC.
Two in-form sides to provide a tactical battle
Sassuolo are 10th in Serie A 2026/2027 with four points from three games, so they're hanging onto mid-table in the early season table. Juve are 4th with seven points from their opening three games, so the Serie A 2026/2027 favourites definitely have the edge on paper.
However, Sassuolo have won 3 of their 5 games this term (D1, L1) and their last two outings have seen them beat AC Parma 2-0 at home and hold AC Milan to a 1-1 draw at the same venue. So, they're in good form.
Juve are also in good shape with three wins, one draw and a defeat in their 5 games this calendar year. Juventus have also been perfect away from home this term (W1) scoring once on the road.
Juve’s wide attackers could cause issues
Luciano Spalletti's side are playing at a high-tempo with a compact structure, they sit high up the pitch with a high defensive line and a wide, rotating attacking structure. The Italian legend is asking his wide attackers to push on in the defensive third and the wingers are meant to force turnovers, so Juventus can punish teams when they lose shape.
Alberto Aquilani's side like to hit teams with quick vertical counters, while their combinations in the half-space, as well as their ability to press reactively rather than non-stop, makes this an interesting tactical chess match.
Sassuolo have a good record at Juve
Sassuolo have a great record in the last three home meetings, winning two, and they have won their only home game this Serie A season, while Juventus have won their only away match. So, there is a case for the Neroverdi to get at least a result on Sunday.
However, Juventus have won both of their competitive away games so far this calendar year and will travel with plenty of confidence. While they are favourites, Sassuolo should be competitive and I don't think the visitors will walk this game.
Juventus should have the quality to edge it
Juventus have a lot of quality and should have the ability to edge this game, but there is enough in the records and form to make it a close contest.
Sassuolo's best goal-scorer in Serie A 2026/2027 so far is defender Cas Odenthal, who has one goal in one game. He offers Sassuolo a bit of an attacking spark from the back line, while Gleison Bremer leads the scoring charts for Juventus with 1 goal in 2 games. He is as much of a threat from set pieces as he is from his defensive position.
I will be backing Juventus to win here, but at 57/100, it's not a landslide victory. I am more interested in the draw and Both Teams to Score: Yes markets at 57/20 and 9/10, respectively, while I think Over 2.5 goals is a good price at 17/20.
