Juventus are looking to strengthen their push for a Champions League place next season as they travel to Sassuolo for a Monday night Serie A fixture. Sassuolo are a handful at home but the Turin club have also impressed on their recent travels and will be confident of coming out on top.
Sassuolo are coming off a 1-0 defeat at troubled Cagliari in their previous Serie A fixture. Despite seeing more of the possession, they struggled to break down their stubborn hosts and finished with just two attempts on target.
Sitting 10th on the table, Sassuolo have no chance of securing a European slot but will be confident of a top half finish. However, they have looked a bit erratic in recent weeks, claiming just two wins from their last five Serie A matches.
Alessio Dionisi’s men are unbeaten in their last five home matches, claiming four wins in that run.
Juventus have been far from their best this season but now have the chance to earn some silverware after reaching the Coppa Italia final. They claimed a 2-0 victory over Fiorentina in the semi-final second leg last Wednesday with Federico Bernadeschi and Danilo getting the goals.
The Turin club will now turn their attention to Serie A matters and their quest to secure a top four finish. They have suffered just one defeat in their last 19 league matches but were held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna in their previous fixture.
Juventus have done some of their best work on the road lately, winning their last four away matches across all competitions. However, defending remains a problem for Massimiliano Allegri’s men having kept just one clean sheet in that run.
