Juventus will be looking to maintain their six-match unbeaten run in the Serie A when they host Sassuolo on Wednesday at the Allianz Stadium with kickoff at 19:30.
Juventus made a slow start to their 2021/22 Serie A campaign picking up just two points in their opening four matches, but they have been on the upward in the recent weeks winning four of their last five Serie A matches.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side fought hard to extended their good run of form at the weekend as they came from behind to hold the champions Inter to a 1-1 draw at San Siro with the second-half substitute Paulo Dybala converting a controversial 89th-minute penalty that Saw the Old Lady continue to move up the Serie A table.
Juventus are now just one point away from a Champions League spot in the sixth, on 15 points and Max Allegri will be hoping his side will keep the momentum going as they aim to break into the top four.
Juve will fancy their chances in the Wednesday’s clash having scored three goals in four of their last five meetings against Sassuolo as well as they won 3-1 in both home and away fixtures against this opponent last season.
Meanwhile Sassuolo have had a tough start to their Serie A campaign under the new management of Alessio Dionisi managing just three wins in their opening nine matches, drawing two and suffering four defeats, which has them sitting the bottom half in 13th on 11 points.
Sassuolo head into the match on the back of a confidence boosting 3-1 victory against Venezia, fighting from a 1-0 deficit to secure their third Serie A win. The win was vital for Donisi as it relieved him of some pressure as his side had previously thrown away a 2-0 lead to a 2-2 draw against a lowly Genoa.
