Juventus vs Sassuolo – Football Whispers' Best Bets
Juventus will be hoping to avoid the terrible start they made to the previous Serie A campaign but their pre-season form won't have given their fans too much optimism. Sassuolo cashed in on one of their star assets this summer and it will be interesting to see how the new look Sassuolo side performs.
Both Teams to Score
We're expecting goals in this game for both clubs just as there have been in each of the last seven encounters between Juventus and Sassuolo in league and cup. Each of the last three meetings between the pair have ended in scorelines of 2-1 with Juve picking up two wins to Sassuolo's one. Juve have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts and don't look as strong at the back now their two of their best defenders. Both teams have scored in four of Sassuolo's last five outings in all competitions, including their 3-2 defeat against Modena in the Coppa Italia last week,
Dusan Vlahovic to Score
Vlahovic has made a decent start to his Juventus career, scoring 7-goals in his first 15 appearances in Serie A but the club will be hoping to rely on his goals more this season now that some big names have left the club. Before moving to Juve, Vlahovic scored 17 goals in 21 games for Fiorentina, making a combined total of 24 goals in Serie A last season, so you can see why we're backing this young hot shot to score against Sassuolo.

Chiesa made his loan move from Fiorentina permanent for £36m and Kostic came in from Frankfurt for £15.30m. Juve also added Genoa left-back Cambiaso to their ranks for just over £7.50m, while the two big name signings arrived on a free transfer, Pogba from Man Utd and Di Maria from PSG.

Dybala left on a free transfer to sign for Jose Mourinho's Roma, while Bernardeschi moved to MLS side Toronto Douglas Costa went to LA Galaxy, Ramsey joined Nice and Chiellini signed for Los Angeles FC all on free transfers.
