Juventus Looks to Rebound Against Sassuolo in Serie A Clash

TURIN, Italy (Interstat) — Juventus aims to bounce back from a disappointing home draw when it visits Sassuolo in Serie A action on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2026.

The Bianconeri (10-3-5) were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Lecce on Saturday, halting momentum from a three-match winning streak. Prior to that, Juventus had secured victories over Pisa (2-0), AS Roma (2-1) and Bologna (1-0). They sit third in the league table but have shown vulnerability, with a 2-1 loss at Napoli on Dec. 7 highlighting their occasional struggles on the road.

Sassuolo (4-7-6), sitting mid-table, is also coming off a draw, having finished 1-1 with Parma. Their form has been inconsistent, mixing impressive results like a 3-0 rout at Atalanta and a 3-1 home win over Fiorentina with frustrating losses, including a 2-0 defeat at newly-promoted Como.

The matchup at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore pits Juventus’s stout defense, which has kept clean sheets in half of its last ten matches, against a volatile Sassuolo attack capable of explosive performances.

Statistical models heavily favor the visitors. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Juventus, while its ELO rating system gives the Turin giants a 94.70% probability to win.
