Juventus have an important Champions League game on Monday, travelling to a well playing Sassuolo. The home side are playing for their hopes of finishing seventh and thus in the European Conference League. What to expect from the game?
Sassuolo are in very good form, having won four of their last seven games, and are feeding their hopes for the European Cup. They are ten points behind seventh place with five rounds left to play.
Juventus have recovered relatively quickly from their Champions League defeat, winning three of the last five league rounds. Fourth place, guaranteeing the Champions League, is fully in their hands, with a five-point cushion over fifth-placed AS Roma.
The home side rely on Domenico Berardi, the Italian international has scored fourteen goals and assisted another fourteen. Young striker Gianluca Scamacca has scored thirteen times, which has also earned him an invitation to the senior national team.
Dusan Vlahovic is again the comet of this season, the Serbian forward scored twenty-three times and added five assists. The team’s mainstay Federico Chiesa is missing a lot due to a long-term injury.
Sassuolo relies on a goal-scoring offense led by Berardi, scoring two or more goals in six of the last eight games.
On the other hand, the Old Lady has scored only seven times in the last six games, twice coming up completely empty.
Considering the Vlahovic factor, I think Juventus can handle the game against a rampant Sassuolo and win.
