Juventus will aim to extend their current four-match unbeaten run in Serie A in all competitions as they welcome Sassuolo, who are hoping to bounce back after consecutive defeats, with the international break approaching.
Following back-to-back victories without conceding, Juventus have recovered from a five-game winless spell across all competitions.
The Old Lady have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five home league matches in all competitions.
Their recent form sees them sit just one point behind fourth-placed Como as the race for a Champions League spot intensifies.
However, a key concern has been their struggles against stronger opposition, with five of their six league defeats coming against teams currently in the top half.
Still, the Bianconeri can take confidence from their recent home form, having won five of their last seven competitive matches on their own ground.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, enjoyed a surge up the table thanks to five wins in six matches, but their progress has recently stalled after back-to-back narrow losses.
Andrea Pinamonti is still the most recent Sassuolo player to have scored against Juventus.
Their latest setback was a 1–0 home defeat to Bologna, which has affected their performance, yet they remain in the top half of the league table.
Their record against higher-ranked teams away from home suggests this could be a difficult assignment. The Neroverdi have struggled on their travels in recent months, picking up only two away victories.

Whispers predicts: Juventus 2-1 Sassuolo
Juventus enter this fixture as the clear favourites based on their superior league position and their dominant head-to-head record. They are also in good form lately, having stayed unbeaten in their last four games across all competitions.
We expect them to control the majority of the ball and eventually break down a Sassuolo defence that rarely keeps clean sheets on the road. However, given the visitors' counter-attacking threat, a clean sheet for the hosts is not guaranteed.
The bookmakers have positioned the home side as favourites at 1.33, reflecting their home strength and current league standing.
A draw is priced at 4.50 odds, while an away win for Sassuolo is at 9.50, suggesting that an upset is unlikely but not impossible.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are set at 1.72 odds, a strong option given both teams have been involved in high-scoring affairs recently, while both teams to score (yes) are valued at 2.05 odds.
> First-half total goals (over 1.5) at 2.50 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.75 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score at 2.05 | Likelihood: Possible
> Home to win and over 2.5 goals at 2.05 | Likelihood: Possible
