Italian Serie A match at the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore on April 16.
Current Form

However, Sassuolo are undefeated in their last three home games having recorded two successive wins and one draw at the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore.
While Juventus were narrowly defeated 2-1 by SS Lazio away as their three-match unbeaten run in Serie A came to an end.
The Old Lady have lost two of their last three matches on the road while the other game ended in a win as the visitors.
What Is At Stake
Sassuolo have improved lately which sees them placed 12th on the league standings as they look to achieve a top 10 finish in the competition.
The Black and Greens will be keen to secure a win over Juventus in order to move closer to the top 10 teams, but the Old Lady are wounded and dangerous.
Juventus are placed seventh on the log - eight points behind fourth-placed AC Milan and a win over Sassuolo would boost their top four ambitions.
Team News

Meanwhile, Juventus starlet Kaio Jorge is the only player on the club's injury list and experienced player Juan Cuadrado is suspended.
Key Players
Domenico Berardi, who grabbed an assist in the defeat to Verona, is the player to watch out for in this Sassuolo side having scored six times and provided six assists in the league this term.
While Adrien Rabiot is now Juventus' joint top scorer with eight goals in the league after scoring against Lazio and he could be the man to inspire the Old Lady to a win over the Black and Greens.

Quotes
"Lazio's goal? We defer to the referee's decisions, we respect the verdict on the pitch as always. Our first half was below our possibilities. Instead, the second half was better," Juventus assistant manager Marco Landucci said after their clash with Lazio.
"A draw would have been the right result. The substitutes made an impact. [Federico] Chiesa is improving, with his presence you can play in different ways, as happened tonight, we had several opportunities to equalise. [Dusan] Vlahovic? We didn't help him much in the first half.
"Of course, there's optimism. We are awaiting the ruling from our appeal April 19. We have earned 59 points on the pitch, but in the meantime, we need to recover and take one match at a time. Thursday will be very important."
Head-to-Head
Juventus proved too strong for Sassuolo as they emerged as 3-0 winners in their last meeting in the league which was on 15 August 2022 at the Allianz Stadium.
The Old Lady are undefeated in their last two league matches against Black and Greens having recorded two consecutive victories.
