Juventus learns the date of their Coppa Italia round of 16 match | OneFootball

Juventus will enter the Coppa Italia at the round of 16 stage, and they have known for some time that Sassuolo will be their opponents in this round of the competition.

It promises to be an interesting fixture, especially because Juventus have already faced Sassuolo in Serie A this season and suffered a defeat against them. The Bianconeri will be determined to learn from that result when they meet again in the cup.

Juventus target Coppa Italia success

Juventus will recognise that the Coppa Italia could represent their most accessible domestic trophy this season. However, Sassuolo are a capable side with a good blend of experienced players and talented youngsters who have worked well together.

The smaller clubs often see cup competitions as an opportunity to make progress, and Sassuolo will be eager to produce another strong performance against Juventus. They will know that eliminating the Bianconeri would represent an important achievement.

According to Football Italia, the match has now been scheduled for Thursday 3rd December 2026. Juventus will therefore have a clear date to prepare for their meeting with Sassuolo.

Spalletti wants Juventus to win

Juventus will be keen to win the Coppa Italia under Luciano Spalletti, particularly as the competition provides them with another opportunity to secure silverware this season.

If the Bianconeri can win the cup while also finishing inside the top four, it would give them another positive outcome from the campaign. However, they must first overcome Sassuolo, who will be determined to make the most of their opportunity.

Juventus last won the Coppa Italia in 2024, when they faced Atalanta in the final. Dusan Vlahovic scored the only goal of that match, securing the trophy for the Bianconeri.

The upcoming meeting with Sassuolo will therefore provide Juventus with another chance to begin a cup campaign that could eventually lead to more silverware. Their previous defeat to Sassuolo should also ensure that they approach the fixture with plenty of determination.
