Sassuolo vs Juventus Match Preview

Sassuolo is ranked at the 8th place with 46 points and comes in a great run after a single draw and four consecutive wins over the last five matches. This is nothing new for a team like them, because year after year they are consolidating themselves as a mid table team rarely risking relegation. Three of these wins came against teams ranked lower than them, while the most notable one was against Lazio, but they found a team in a deep crysis.

While it is true they have shown a very good offensive side with 59 goals scored so far they have shown a leaky defense with 54 goals conceded. This makes them the worst defense from the top half teams and in a game like this where they have to face Juventus I see a big trouble ahead for them.

Juventus, on the other side, is ranked at the 1st spot with 76 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. They sit eight points above Inter and Lazio, which is pretty comfortable but with six weeks left to play there are still plenty of points at stake. So after two false steps I really doubt Juventus will make a third mistake.

They will focus once again on the offensive side with Cristiano Ronaldo being on fire lately and Dybala providing precious goals and assists. It should be also a good chance for them to revenge that 2-2 draw in the previous game this season. Pjanic is back from his minor injury and is expected to start alongside Bentancur and Rabiot.

In conclusion, I think Juventus can win this match. They will be fully motivated to earn three points in order to continue their journey to secure their 9th consecutive title. Sassuolo has been quite decent so far, but in a game like this against a Juventus who can not tolerate another negative result, it will be hard for them to stop their rivals.
