Juventus vs Sassuolo Prediction
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Juventus and Sassuolo in the 30th round of Serie A at the Allianz Stadium? The Old Lady is in desperate need of points as they fiercely compete for a Champions League spot. Despite being newcomers, the Neroverdi have been delivering impressive performances this season. This upcoming match might prove to be far more intriguing than it initially appears.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Juventus and Sassuolo in recent years clearly favors the Turin club. Out of 24 encounters, the hosts have claimed victory 17 times, three matches ended in a draw, while the visitors have emerged victorious just four times. In the first round of the current season, Juventus faced little resistance as they comfortably routed the "Neroverdi" on the road with a 3-0 win.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Juventus Turin Team Overview
⚪ February was certainly not Juventus' month. In just 28 days, the team managed to crash out of both the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, while also dropping crucial points that worsened their standing in the Serie A table. However, recently the Turin side have started to regain their form and are back to winning ways, which has seen them climb to fifth place, reducing the gap to the top four to just one point.
⚫ Last weekend, Juventus traveled to face an inconsistent Udinese and secured a narrow victory (1-0) without facing significant challenges. The scoreline might seem deceptive, as the "Old Lady" controlled the game from start to finish. They looked much sharper in attack, creating numerous chances (xG 2.73), but were let down by poor finishing. Nevertheless, they bagged three points, and there’s little room for complaints in such a scenario.

Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Despite occupying a mid-table position (10th with 38 points), Sassuolo have struggled to find consistency this season. The "Neroverdi" can string together a series of impressive performances, only to suddenly falter. They ended January and went through February on a high, winning five out of six matches. However, they approach the upcoming game on the back of two consecutive defeats, which doesn’t inspire much confidence.
⚫ Last weekend, Sassuolo surprisingly lost at home to Bologna (0-1), a team not known for their stellar play either. Even after conceding as early as the 6th minute, the "Neroverdi" did little to level the score-managing just 9 shots in the entire 90 minutes, with no clear-cut chances created and an xG of just 0.62.

Sassuolo Calcio
📣 After their 1-0 defeat to Bologna, Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso remarked, "Against a team built to compete in three tournaments simultaneously, you have to play with maximum focus and the right level of adrenaline, otherwise winning becomes extremely difficult... In the second half, we increased our intensity, but ultimately only came close to getting a result."

⚽️ Goal Prediction
Recent clashes between Juventus and Sassuolo have been quite high-scoring, with the over 2.5 goals bet hitting in 15 of their last 16 head-to-head encounters. The only exception was in April 2023, when the "Neroverdi" managed to edge out the Turin side 1-0 at home, thanks to a goal from Grégoire Defrel. There's little reason to anticipate a low-scoring affair in their upcoming match.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The "Neroverdi" have been frequently approaching the corner flag lately. Sassuolo have taken more than 2.5 corners in their last nine Serie A matches. Considering their average this season stands at 4.0 corners per game, this bet seems well-founded.
Editor's Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Juventus are clear favorites in the upcoming clash. Considering Sassuolo's lackluster performances in their matches against Lazio (1-2) and Bologna (0-1), it's hard to argue otherwise, especially since the Turin side have shown solid form in their last two outings. Moreover, it's important to note that the "Black and Greens" have struggled significantly in head-to-head encounters, conceding heavily - the "Old Lady" have scored at least two goals in 15 of their last 17 Serie A meetings against them. Therefore, our main bet is on Juventus scoring over 1.5 goals. We anticipate a scoreline of 3-1 on the board.
