Sassuolo take on the visitors Juventus in the round 19 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 6th at Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore (Reggio Emilia).
Sassuolo stayed stable in Serie A for years and even gained some, albeit brief, experience in European competitions. Still, the loss of the project’s founder eventually took its toll, and in 2024 the club dropped to the second division, although they regrouped there and secured an immediate return by finishing first with a comfortable gap over their rivals. Most importantly, back in the top flight, and without chasing personal records, the team are showing the level and results of a confident mid-table side. It is already clear that another relegation is not a real threat, which raises the question of current motivation: is there still something concrete to fight for, or will the intensity gradually fade closer to spring? In recent matches against Bologna and Parma, they had to settle for draws, with both games ending 1–1.
Overall, Sassuolo have been competitive but lack the cutting edge to turn balance into wins. Their recent form suggests reliability rather than ambition, which often leads to shared points instead of full rewards.

Juventus have once again changed their head coach. The Old Lady have a habit of creating problems for themselves. It seemed that things were finally improving, with a third-place finish and a domestic cup secured, yet the coach was dismissed early amid controversy. The successor’s spell turned into a disappointment, and even the next appointment could only point to a hard-fought success in the battle for fourth place as a real achievement. In autumn, that coach was also sacked after a long winless run turned draws into defeats. Fortunately for Juventus, the subsequent change brought a quick upturn in results. Even so, there were setbacks against direct rivals, and after a series of victories, including a 2–0 win over Pisa, they dropped points again with a 1–1 draw against modest Lecce, failing to capitalize on a clear chance to win.
Despite the instability, recent performances indicate gradual improvement in terms of structure and control. Juventus are starting to look more consistent from match to match, although lapses still prevent them from fully regaining dominance.
From 2022 to 2024, in the last four meetings, both sides recorded two wins each, all of them on home soil. It is hard to believe that the Old Lady will allow another slip-up in a row. The pick here is a Juventus away win.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win.
