Sassuolo

Juventus

Between them, Sassuolo and Juventus are arguably Serie A’s most surprising story-lines through the first nine games of 2015-16, though for entirely different reasons. Sassuolo are a surprising sixth place team after winning four games, including a recent stretch where they shocked Lazio and battled for a 2-2 draw in Rome against Roma. Meanwhile, defending champions Juventus have managed to win just three of their first nine games and find themselves languishing in an almost embarrassing 12th place.

It’s impossible to look past Sassuolo’s bright start to the 2015-16 season, but it is worth noting that things haven’t necessarily worked so smoothly over the last few games. They have lost two of their last three and have only one win in their last four. To maintain top half position, they need to win this game just as much as Juventus.

Juventus have endured a strange season already. The cost of losing Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Teves was under-estimated by most writers. Still, home wins over Bologna and Atalanta and an away draw at the San Siro against Inter Milan have put Juventus back into the heart of the table. Their Champions League form has also remained strong.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Match-up should create goals

Both sides actually have pretty good defensive records, but we think that the match-up in the middle of the field will result in not too much time on the ball for either side and a pretty open game of football.

2. Two team pressing for a win

This one will mean a lot to Sassuolo at this early stage of the season, meanwhile, Juventus will know that they simply can’t afford to keep losing football games if they want to get back into contention at the business end of the table.

3. Sassuolo keep going

Our correct score prediction actually sees Sassuolo somehow stealing this game. It might be against the form book, but we’re not convinced that Juventus have emerged from their poor stretch, especially on the road, we also believe Sassuolo have a pretty decent formula for winning.
