Sassuolo vs Juventus prediction 06.01.2026 | Serie A

Sassuolo suffered an unexpected relegation in the 2023/24 season after several years of being a stable mid-table team. Luckily, Neroverdi managed to secure an instant return last season and are doing a fine job this season. Still, to be fair, they have slowed down considerably and have won just once during the previous seven games. However, they are sitting in 10th place with 23 points, a comfortable 11 points away from the danger zone, although with two games played more than 18th-placed Verona. Despite a poor form, Neroverdi can surely be satisfied with how things are going. 

For the upcoming game against Juventus, the team will miss a few players due to injuries - Filippo Romagna, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Yeferson Paz, Daniel Boloca, and the team's captain, Domenico Berardi. Additionally, Woyo Coulibaly is unavailable as he is with his NT at the AFCON.

Juventus had mixed results last season but saved the season with a strong finish and eventually secured a Champions League appearance. This season, the Old Lady advanced to the Champions League knockout phase and are fourth in Serie A with 33 points. Right now, they are five points away from the top spot, but with one game played more. Generally, they are playing well, but the impression is that they could have done even better. Still, they are in good form and have every reason to be optimistic about the upcoming games.

Interestingly, the Old Lady has no players at the AFCON. However, two central defenders, Federico Gatti and Daniele Rugani, and two forwards, Arkadiusz Milik and Dusan Vlahovic, should remain sidelined with injuries.
