Sassuolo vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-05 19:45.
[p]An out-of-form Sassuolo will try to get back to winning ways against top-four hopefuls Juventus, who saw their winning streak come to an end at the weekend.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After being held to a 1-1 home draw by relegation-threatened Parma in their last Serie A match, Sassuolo saw their winless league run stretch to four matches (D3, L1). The Neroverdi fell out of the top eight as a result, but their comfortable mid-table position can be still considered as a success given this is their first season back in the top flight. A swift return to home soil isn’t guaranteed to stimulate a response here either, since Fabio Grosso’s men have won just once here across their last six outings (D2, L3), and having suffered two defeats to nil in their only two home matches against current top-five sides this term, Juventus’ visit appears inopportunely timed.[/p]
[p]Similarly to their hosts, Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened opposition in the last round, when the Bianconeri failed to beat Lecce. Juventus are still clinging on to a top-four spot, but if they can keep up a run of form which has seen them win seven of their last nine matches (D1, L1) then their position could soon look a lot more secure. Back-to-back away wins to nil have aided their recent revival, and few would bet against Juve making that a trilogy here given they’ve won seven of their last eight Tuesday-held Serie A games (D1), with six of those wins also coming with an accompanying clean sheet.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]None of the previous nine H2Hs have ended level, with Juventus winning six of those outings (L3), while 14 of the last 15 H2Hs produced over 2.5 goals.[/p]
