Serie A action resumes on September 12, 2026, as Sassuolo host Juventus in what promises to be an intriguing encounter. Juventus arrive in superior form, boasting a 55% win rate this season compared to Sassuolo's 39%, and have been prolific with 57 goals scored to their hosts' 41. The Bianconeri have been particularly strong recently, winning four of their last five league outings, highlighting their current momentum.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, have experienced a mixed bag of results, securing two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five. Their defensive record, conceding 44 goals, will be a concern against a potent Juventus attack that has only shipped 29. While the head-to-head history is somewhat varied, including a recent 1-1 draw and a surprising Sassuolo 4-2 victory, Juventus have generally dominated. The bookmakers reflect this, giving Juventus a 45% win probability, identical to a draw, with Sassuolo's chances pegged at a mere 10%. Expect a cautious start from the home side, aiming to exploit any counter-attacking opportunities, while Juventus will likely press for an early breakthrough to assert their dominance.
