Sassuolo vs Juventus Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 699

Juventus make a trip to Mapei Stadium to round off this week’s Serie A fixtures against Sassuolo on Monday, as they will be seeking to keep their extremely narrow hopes of Scudetto glory alive.

Meanwhile, Sassuolo are currently sitting in mid-table and realisticalyy only have a top-half finish to fight for before the 2021-22 season comes to an end.

With their habit of winning one then losing one in the Serie A in the past few weeks, Sassuolo supporters would not be surprised with such a run continuing against Juventus on Monday, especially after their diasappointment against relegation-threatened Cagliari.

Alessandro Deiola’s goal on the stroke of half time was enough to separate the two sides a week ago as Sassuolo lost away from home again, but a return to home comforts will suit Alessioa Dionisi’s side down to the ground on Monday.

Sassuolo welcome Juventus to the Mapei Stadium off the back of three consecutive home wins in Serie A, while they have scored at least twice in each of their last five on their home soil, but Juventus are good in coming away with a victory on the road.

Despite Dusan Vlahovic going 173 minutes without scoring against his former club in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Juventus completed the job in a professional manner to eliminate Fiorentina and set up a contest with Inter Milan.

Federico Bernardeschi and Danilo scored either side of the break for the Old Lady to ensure they could welcome a piece of silverware before the end of the season, although the current Scudetto holders will prove tough opposition next month.

Dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Bologna last weekend leaves Juventus with a lot of work to finish atop the pile, with the fourth-placed Bianconeri sitting nine points adrift of current leaders Inter Milan.

Sassuolo news

Sassuolo lost right-back Jeremy Toljan to a shoulder injury after just 21 minutes of the game against Cagliari, and Mert Muldur returns on time from suspension to replace him.

Domenico Berardi is likely to demote Gregoire Defrel back down to the bench, while Abdou Harroui remains sidelined alongside Toljan.

Juventus news

Juventus have a long list of injuries, with Allegri missing out Arthur, Marley Ake, Manuel Locatelli, Kaio Jorge, Weston McKennie and Federico Chiesa.

Danilo joins Denis Zakaria in the midfield this week, with Bernardeschi hopeful of supporting on the right, while goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny wrestles the gloves back off Mattia Perin.

Prediction and Odds

Sassuolo have been impressive at home in recent weeks but have had defensive issues within their camp, which could make them vulnerable in this contest.

Juventus will be looking to bounce back from dropping two points against Bologna, and we believe they have the firepower to claim a victory here.
