Juventus and Sassuolo go head-to-head in Serie A at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday as Luciano Spalletti’s men look to re-enter the top four in the table.

Juventus vs Sassuolo – Match preview and team news

Juventus team news

Juventus come into this match with a largely settled squad, with only Emil Holm sidelined due to a calf injury.

There are no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues. Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik, both of whom were struggling with injuries, are now back in contention.

In their most recent match, Jonathan David was dropped to the bench as Kenan Yildiz started up front as a false nine and Spalletti might once again stick with that plan in case he decides to keep Vlahovic and Milik on the bench.

Sassuolo team news

Sassuolo arrive in Turin with several absentees of their own, particularly in defensive areas, where Daniel Boloca and Fali Cande are sidelined with their own injuries.

Alieu Fadera is also out with a broken cheekbone while Edoardo Pieragnolo is doubtful due to his muscle issue.

The front three will once again be comprised of Domenico Berardi, Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti. In their last five matches in which they scored, one of them was always involved in every single match and will look to continue their form.

Form

Juventus

Juventus are currently on a four match unbeaten run and sits fifth in the table with 53 points from 29 matches. They defeated Udinese 1-0 away from home last week. They sit second in the xG table in comparison to their real position suggesting that they have underperformed in the season but as the final quarter of the season approaches, they will certainly want to make sure that they get inside that top four position and qualify for next year’s Champions League.

Sassuolo

Sassuolo’s recent form has been streaky, with a run of three consecutive wins following a pair of defeats. They sit at 10th with 38 points in the league and in their most recent outing, they lost 0-1 at home to Bologna. Although Sassuolo sits at 10th position in the table but they rank 15th in the xG table, indicating that they are currently overperforming and regression is looming against Juventus.

Predicted lineups

Juventus: Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, McKennie, Boga; Yildiz

Sassuolo: Muric; Walukiewicz, Muharemovic, Idzes, Garcia; Kone, Matic, Thorstvedt; Berardi, Pinamonti, Lauriente
