Sassuolo – Juventus : a tricky trip for the Bianconeri 
Held to a draw at the weekend, Juventus travel to Sassuolo desperate to get back on track. Both teams started 2026 with a frustrating 1-1, each dropping points against struggling opponents.
Sassuolo : solid, ambitious, but lacking a cutting edge 
Back in Serie A after a season in the second tier, Sassuolo have quickly found their feet. Fabio Grosso’s side put together a convincing first half of the season and even muscled into the European race.
Lately the machine has started to creak: draws with Bologna and Parma have stalled their momentum.
Against Parma, Thorstvedt had shown the way, but the Neroverdi were pegged back. Doig hit the post and Muric had to make several saves to stop it getting uglier.
The Mapei Stadium is never an easy trip, and Juve know it: Sassuolo won the last two home meetings.
Juventus : a response is due 
Juve hoped to ride the momentum from late 2025, but Lecce put a brake on Turin’s ambitions.
After conceding just before half-time, McKennie levelled, but the Bianconeri lacked cutting ruthlessness: David missed a penalty, Yildiz hit the post, and clear-cut chances were wasted late on.
Luciano Spalletti has steadied the ship and restored belief, but the margin’s thin. In a tight top-four scrap, every point matters.
And this trip to Sassuolo, where Juve have lost the last two, comes when they can’t afford to drop ground.
Probable line-ups
Sassuolo :
Muric ; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemovic, Cande ; Thorstvedt, Matic, Kone ; Fadera, Pinamonti, Lauriente
Juventus :
Di Gregorio ; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly ; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso ; Concecicao, Yildiz ; Openda
What to remember
- Sassuolo won the last two home meetings with Juventus.
- Both teams come in on 1-1 draws.
- Juve are improving but still lack ruthlessness in front of goal.
- Sassuolo are hard to break down at home.
Prediction Sassuolo vs Juventus
Both teams to score
Sassuolo have shown they can mix it with the big boys. Juventus are moving forward but still fragile at times. So a match where both sides find the net looks the likeliest outcome.
First up, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole story turns on its head.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, you can lose. Inevitably, you will at some point.
- Stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a way to make money. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk is real and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral quickly (losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions don’t form a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet fails.
Information can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But a team sheet (like Lazio’s) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis becomes outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible.
Your role
Before betting, just check that betting is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
