"Recent history suggests this will be no straightforward task for Juventus. Sassuolo have won the last two meetings at the Mapei Stadium, memorably defeating the Bianconeri 1-0 and then 4-2 in the space of six months before their brief drop to Serie B. Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti, and Armand Lauriente all found the net in those encounters, underlining the Neroverdi's ability to trouble Italy's giants."
"After bouncing back as Serie B champions, Sassuolo have impressed on their return to the top flight, flirting with European qualification. However, momentum has stalled in recent weeks. Fabio Grosso's men followed a commendable draw at Bologna with another 1-1 stalemate against Parma. Kristian Thorstvedt's header gave Sassuolo the lead, but they soon conceded an equalizer. Josh Doig struck the post in a lively second half, while Aro Muric produced several saves to preserve a point."
Juventus travel to Reggio Emilia seeking an immediate response after letting two points slip at the weekend. Both sides were held to 1-1 draws in their most recent matches, leaving momentum uncertain heading into Tuesday. Sassuolo have won the last two meetings at the Mapei Stadium and impressed after promotion, but recent results have stalled and they sit 10th. Kristian Thorstvedt scored and goalkeeper Aro Muric produced several saves in the draw with Parma. Woyo Coulibaly is suspended following an AFCON red card and several players, including Domenico Berardi, are injured. Juventus ended 2025 with a strong run under Luciano Spalletti.
