Preview: Juventus vs. Sassuolo – Team news and prediction

Juventus is undefeated in their last 14 Serie A matches, and their most recent defeat was against tonight's opponent, Sassuolo, where they lost 4-2. Their impressive streak means that, at the moment, they are 5 points behind Inter Milan, though with a game in hand, narrowing the gap to 2 points is a possibility.

On the contrary, Sassuolo is part of the relegation battle in Serie A, where 6-7 teams are in danger of relegation this season. They recently had a positive experience with a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, ending a winless streak of 5 matches. Playing against Juventus is challenging, but they enter with renewed energy and confidence, especially after a victory in their recent head-to-head encounter.

Team news: 
Moise Kean is definitely out with an injury, while there is also significant doubt about Federico Chiesa. Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie are both suspended, so it is highly likely that Adrien Rabiot and Rugani will take their places in the starting lineup. 

Jeremy Toljan and Matias Vina are the only absentees for Sassuolo.

Juventus expected lineup: 
Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Rugani; Cambiaso, Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Yildiz.

Sassuolo expected lineup: 
Consigli; Pedersen, Erlic, Ferrari, Viti; Boloca, Henrique; Berardi, Thorstvedt, Lauriente; Pinamonti.

Prediction: 
Looking at Juventus' results in Serie A this season, they have not been achieving big victories. Their last 9 Serie A wins have been by a one-goal margin, and it suggests another closely contested match. We believe Juventus will win the game, but Sassuolo will put up a fight, and a good prediction for the match would be a 2-1 victory for Juventus. Therefore, we suggest a Juventus win + both teams to score in the match at odds of 3.20 at Betway.
