Sassuolo lost their first Serie A game of the season at home to Atalanta, but since then, they have remained unbeaten in three consecutive competitive matches ahead of this fixture.
It shows they are on the right track and are performing as well as their fans would want them to, but Juventus will provide a different test. They have to face one of the teams determined to challenge for the title.
Juventus face another test
The Bianconeri have started the campaign strongly despite their injury problems, and they have suffered at least one new major injury since their last match. However, that will not be an excuse for their performance against Sassuolo.
The likes of Douglas Luiz, Teun Koopmeiners and Nicolas Gonzalez have been playing well for Juventus after being told to leave in the summer, and they will likely start this match.
Sassuolo will be confident after their unbeaten run, but Juventus have the quality and experience required to respond after dropping points against AC Milan. The Bianconeri will also be determined to avoid another setback.
Bianconeri tipped to win
Juventus have won two and drawn one of their last three head to head matches against the black and greens, giving them a strong recent record in this fixture.
Sassuolo will hope their recent form can help them produce another difficult test, particularly on home soil, but Juventus remain the stronger side on paper.
The Bianconeri will be expected to approach the match with the aim of returning to winning ways and maintaining their strong start to the campaign. Given their recent record against Sassuolo and the quality within their squad, Juventus should have enough to secure another narrow victory.
We expect Juventus to secure another narrow 2-1 win in this fixture.
