Juventus take on the visitors Sassuolo in the round 1 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, August 15th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus had disappointed last season. The "Old Lady" perceived the 4th place in the 2020/2021 draw as a failure. What was natural: a strained finish in the quartet of leaders after the constant capture of the Scudetto. They reacted curiously to this: they abandoned Ronaldo and returned Allegri to the post of head coach. But at the exit, instead of the expected, dramatic progress, it turned out that the Bianconeri were actually marking time. Again, finishing in 4th place in Serie A, however, not so nervous. But at the same time, the giant lost both the Super Cup and the cup final (both times to Inter), and in the Champions League the Italians lost to modest Villarreal. Let's see what happens now, without Chiellini and De Ligt, Bernardeschi and Ramsey, and most importantly - without Dybala and possibly Morata. Instead, they signed Bremer, Cambiasso, Pogba and Di Maria.

Sassuolo will try to improve this season. The Black-Greens released Roberto De Zerbi a year ago, with whom they took 8th place twice in a row. And at the same time, they sold a number of leading players. In such conditions, the new mentor, Alessio Dionisi, did well. Yes, the team sank, but not much, only to the 11th position. Now the situation is quite familiar: there are again a lot of players who left, including Scamakka, who moved to West Ham for very good money. And recruited a bunch of newcomers, led by striker Augustin Alvarez from Peñarol and midfielder Torstvedt from Genk. It remains only that again the scouts do not make a mistake and find new future stars.
Not so good for Juventus in this confrontation. Last season, Sassuolo, already under Dionisi, won at home. True, after that, the "Old Signora" won both the cup and the championship. Juventus are seen as the favorites at home. But it may not be so easy for him to beat the solid Sassuolo. We recommend betting on the victory of Sassuolo with a handicap of "+1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Sassuolo to win with +1.5 handicap.
