Sassuolo vs Juventus Prediction 13 September 2026
📢 How will the Serie A matchday 4 fixture between Sassuolo and Juventus play out? The Old Lady are one of Italy's strongest and most successful clubs and always set themselves the highest targets. Sassuolo, meanwhile, have made a positive impression since returning from the second division and will not give up points without a fight. The fact that the match is being played at the Mapei Stadium adds an extra element of intrigue.

Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have met 25 times in recent years. Juventus hold a commanding advantage: 17 wins to Sassuolo's 4, with another 4 draws. Last season the Old Lady won comfortably away 3-0, but then unexpectedly dropped points at home in the reverse fixture, drawing 1-1.
Head-to-head statistics Sassuolo - Juventus
Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 After an impressive previous season in which Sassuolo finished 11th immediately upon returning to Serie A, the club have carried that momentum into the new campaign. In five competitive matches, the Neroverdi have suffered just one defeat - a 1-2 loss away at Atalanta in the opening round, though they arguably deserved at least a draw on the day. They have picked up four points in the league despite a difficult run of fixtures, and have also reached the Round of 16 in the Coppa Italia.
⚫ Last weekend Sassuolo were away at Bologna. They went into the match as clear underdogs but came very close to winning, with the game ending 2-2. The Neroverdi led twice, but allowed Bologna to equalise on both occasions, conceding the second leveller in the 90+1st minute. Bologna looked slightly the better side overall, though that was largely because they spent much of the match chasing the game. A draw was a fair result.
Match Results: Sassuolo Calcio
Juventus Turin Team Overview
⚫ Juventus have made a mixed impression at the start of the season. On one hand, they have taken seven points from a possible nine; on the other, the results have not been truly convincing. The Old Lady scraped past Frosinone 1-0, then beat Parma 2-0, and in the last round only avoided a home defeat to Milan thanks to a goal in the 90+2nd minute, drawing 1-1.
⚪ In terms of the football itself, Juventus have not looked bad, and finishing remains their main problem. Against Milan, the Turin side dominated across all the key statistics: they allowed their opponents just 3 shots while taking 14 themselves, and the xG difference was very large. Yet Milan's only shot on target was a goal. Juventus did avoid defeat, but given that level of dominance, the draw looks more like dropping two points than gaining one.

Latest news
Sassuolo Calcio
❌ Sassuolo continue to have a large number of injury problems. Edoardo Pieragnolo and Fali Kandé are still recovering from cruciate ligament injuries, Daniel Boloca from a knee injury, while Darryl Bakola and Cristian Volpato are unavailable due to muscular problems. Sebastian Walukiewicz remains doubtful. In addition, Ismaël Koné is set to be out for an extended period with a broken ankle.
🔁 Update - 13 September, 06:22 UTC:
- According to Aluscita, Darryl Bakola may be available for the match. The Frenchman started the season as a first-choice midfielder at Sassuolo. The 18-year-old has played two full matches in Serie A this campaign, and also featured in two Coppa Italia games, registering an assist against Cesena. His potential return to the squad is a positive development for Sassuolo.
Juventus Turin
❌ Juventus have an even longer injury list. Pape Sarr, Jeff Ekhator and Jeremie Boga are recovering from muscular injuries and are expected to return towards the end of September, while Juan Cabal is expected back in early October. Andrea Cambiaso and Weston McKennie have returned to training, so their return to the pitch is expected soon. Kenan Yildiz is unavailable until mid-November, Manuel Locatelli until around early January, and Khephren Thuram is set to be out the longest, with a return expected only in February.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Juventus tend to come out strongly in the first half against Sassuolo. The Neroverdi have conceded at least one goal before half-time in 8 of the last 9 Serie A home matches against the Bianconeri. In this fixture too, the Turin side should look to take the initiative from the off and go for an early lead. On that basis, Juventus to Score in the 1st Half at 1.68* looks an interesting option.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Juventus have been racking up a high number of corners in the opening rounds. In all three matches played so far, they have won at least 7 corners, totalling 29 - more than any other side. They have also exceeded six corners in each of their last seven Serie A matches. Given these figures, Juventus Team Total Corners - Over 5.5 at 1.92* is the most logical pick.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Sassuolo are shaping up as one of the most disciplined sides in Serie A this season. The Neroverdi are averaging just 1.3 yellow cards per match - only four clubs have a better record. Last season they did not receive a single booking in the home match against Juventus, and only two in the return fixture in Turin. On that basis, Sassuolo Team Total Yellow Cards - Under 2.5 at 1.43* looks a sensible choice.
🚀 Player Stats Bet
Teun Koopmeiners has already caught the eye in attack for Juventus despite playing fewer than 50 minutes in total. The Dutchman has been involved in two of the team's four goals, finishing the match against Parma with a goal and providing an assist against Milan. Given that impact, the midfielder deserves a starting place, and Koopmeiners to Score or Assist is certainly worth considering.
😱 Risky Bet
Matches against Juventus have often been very difficult for Sassuolo. Beyond the numerous defeats in previous meetings, the Neroverdi have suffered heavy losses against the Bianconeri: in 3 of the last 6 encounters, Sassuolo lost 0-3. As the bolder option, Juventus Team Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 3.50* is worth a look.
🎯 Safe Bet
For those looking to avoid too much risk, Juventus Not to Lose at 1.18* is a solid choice. The Bianconeri have gone unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 matches, and there is little to suggest that run is about to end.
👀 If the Match Takes an Unexpected Turn
Despite Juventus's strong head-to-head record, Sassuolo should not be underestimated. As already noted, the Bianconeri create plenty of chances but do not always convert them efficiently. And the Neroverdi are not Frosinone or Parma - they know how to defend in an organised and disciplined manner. If the visitors struggle to get going in attack from the early minutes, Both Teams to Score - No at 2.01* is worth considering.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers are expecting a Juventus win - the visitors are considered clear favourites. That assessment seems fair: the Old Lady have a stronger squad, higher ambitions and a very good record in head-to-head meetings. But it probably won't be a straightforward evening for the Turin side. Sassuolo look competitive early in the season and are finding their moments in attack without too much difficulty. It's also worth noting that the club have scored in 8 of their last 9 official matches, so the hosts are quite capable of getting a goal of their own. Our main bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Expected score: 1-2.
