They have eight wins, six draws and one loss in the league. Juventus have won three out of the last five home matches, drawn one and suffered a heavy shocking defeat of 3-0 against Fiorentina.

Juventus have four players out due to injury. Matthijs de Ligt, Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado are all out due to coronavirus whereas Alvara Morata is suffering from muscular problems. The Juventus talisman Ronaldo is leading the goal scoring charts with 14 goals. Federico Chiesa’s match winning performance against Milan in the last match showed why Juventus paid that hefty transfer fee for him. In the absence of Morata who has five assists, Chiesa along with Ramsey have the most number of assists with three each.

 Sassuolo Form & Team News

 Sassuolo are currently in the fifth position after 16 matches with 29 points. Despite being very close to each other in the points table, Sassuolo will be much happier than Juventus about where they are placed on the table. They have eight wins, five draws and three losses in the league. Sassuolo’s away record is much better than the home record. They have won five out of eight matches, drawn two and lost only one.

Sassuolo’s injury list consists of Dominic Berardi, Federico Ricci and Filippo Romagna. Dominic Berardi’s loss would be huge for Sassuolo who is out due to muscular problems, as he is leading both the goal scoring and assist charts with seven goals and four assists. His fitness would be assessed again before the match. Hamed Traore or Giacomo Raspadori could be the possible replacements.
