Juventus will aim to quickly move on from their disappointing 3-0 defeat to AC Milan when they travel to the Citta del Tricolore Stadium to take on Sassuolo.

The hosts, meanwhile, head into this tie off the back of a 2-1 win over Genoa and will look to build on that impressive performance.

Sassuolo continued their sensational form in Serie A as Giacomo Raspadori and Domenico Berardi scored in either half to beat Genoa 2-1 last time out.

The Neroverdi have now extended their unbeaten run to six games, dating back to a 2-1 loss to league champions Inter Milan back in April.

Since then, Roberto De Zerbi's men have picked up five wins and one draw. This resurgence has seen them climb to eighth place, one point behind the Europa League playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Juventus' chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League took a hefty blow as they suffered a 3-0 loss to AC Milan last time out.

In an utterly lethargic performance, Andrea Pirlo's men failed to threaten the Rossoneri, who picked up their 22nd win of the season.

Juventus have now dropped to fifth place in the league table, two points behind Napoli in fourth place. They now risk playing in the Europa League next season and will need to win their final three games and hope for a slip-up from their rivals to avoid this.


Sassuolo vs Juventus Head-To-Head

Pirlo's men are currently on a 10-game unbeaten run against Sassuolo with their last encounter ending in a 3-1 win back in January.
