Sassuolo and Juventus prepare for Serie A clash at Stadio Mapei
Sassuolo arrive at this fourth matchday of the Serie A season looking to build on a mixed start to their campaign, having balanced league duties with cup progression. Meanwhile, Juventus travel to the Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore aiming to maintain their unbeaten start to the domestic term as they look to assert themselves early in the standings.
Sassuolo have navigated a varied opening to their season, showing flashes of quality in their 2-1 victory over Torino in late August. Their most recent league outing saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Bologna, a result that highlights their ability to compete against established sides. Having also successfully navigated a Coppa Italia fixture against Cesena, the team will look to find greater consistency as they prepare for this high-profile test.
Juventus have enjoyed a disciplined start to the season, anchored by a defensive unit that has proven difficult to break down. Their recent form in Serie A includes a professional 2-0 win over Parma Calcio 1913 and a hard-fought 1-1 draw against AC Milan. With clean sheets recorded in seven of their last ten matches across all competitions, they head into this fixture with a clear tactical identity focused on control and resilience.
Both managers face significant selection challenges as they finalize their plans for Sunday evening. Juventus are navigating a difficult period regarding player availability, with Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeremie Boga, Weston McKennie, and Kenan Yildiz all sidelined through injury. Their expected XI includes Guglielmo Vicario in goal, supported by a defensive line of Mehmet Zeki Celik, Jhon Lucumi, Gleison Bremer, and Pierre Kalulu.
Sassuolo enter the contest with their own concerns, most notably the absence of Cristian Volpato. The hosts are expected to field an attacking setup featuring Domenico Berardi and Kieron Bowie, with Arijanet Muric starting in goal. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Nemanja Matic and Kristian Thorstvedt expected to anchor the center of the pitch against the visiting Juventus engine room.
Meetings between these two clubs have often produced unpredictable outcomes in recent years. While Juventus secured a comfortable 3-0 victory in their most recent visit to this venue in January 2026, their last encounter in March 2026 ended in a 1-1 draw. Sassuolo have proven they can disrupt the visitors, as evidenced by their 4-2 win in September 2023, ensuring that history suggests a competitive encounter is in store.
As the match approaches, the focus will be on whether Sassuolo can penetrate a Juventus defense that has been remarkably stingy in recent weeks. The hosts will likely rely on the creative instincts of Domenico Berardi to unlock the visitors, while Juventus will look to Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz to dictate the tempo. It remains to be seen if the visitors' injury-hit squad can maintain their defensive standards against a determined home side.
