A goal from striker Diego Falcinelli and a brace from midfielder Nicola Mosti secured the win for Modena. Goals from attacker Domenico Berardi and Turkey international Kaan Ayhan proved to be a mere consolation for Sassuolo.

Juventus vs Sassuolo Prediction
Juventus have endured a busy transfer window, with incoming and outgoings both aplenty. Important players like Matthijs de Ligt, Giorgio Chiellini and Paulo Dybala have all departed the club, while incoming have included Angel Di Maria, Paul Pogba, and more recently, Filip Kostic. The squad still looks lacking in certain areas and it remains to see whether the allure of Massimiliano Allegri, built predominantly during his first tenure at the club, still holds.
Sassuolo, on the other hand, will enter this season without the looming presence of Gianluca Scamacca. The Italy international has joined West Ham United after an excellent 2021-22 season. They could also lose another star in Giacomo Raspadori, with Napoli circling.
Juventus will be the favorites.
Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Sassuolo
