Sassuolo vs Juventus — Tips & Analysis

Sassuolo +1: Sassuolo do not get beaten heavily, and that is the backbone of this pick. They have not lost by 2 or more goals in any of their last 14 games. At their own ground they have won 5 of 7 and let in a goal a game. Across all their games they score just over a goal a game, so nobody is claiming they will run at Juventus. They simply tend to stay in games. Juventus are the tightest team in Italy. They let in less than a goal a game, and they have been meaner still on the road. The problem for them is at the other end. They also score just over a goal a game, and only 2 of their last 14 games had 3 or more goals in them. Their attack is now stripped bare, with Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Arkadiusz Milik and Manuel Locatelli all out. Sassuolo have seven men missing of their own, so expect a slow, careful night at the Mapei. A 1-1 is the most likely score, and Sassuolo hanging in there is the read we want. The risk is the gap in class. Juventus have won 14 of the last 20 meetings, and Sassuolo's home record is flattered by cup games against weaker teams. Even so, a Juventus attack this short of bodies should not be running away with it.
