Juventus has a good record against Sasssuolo in Serie A

It is no hidden secret that Juventus is utterly dominant in Serie A, and this dominance has seen them play out one-sided matches against most teams in the Italian tournament, particularly in their home stadium.

Their opponent on Sunday, Sassuolo, is one of the more dominated teams, with the Turin club winning each of their last five fixtures against Sassuolo. Indeed, their last fixture at Sunday's venue ended in a convincing 7-0 victory for Juventus.

The last time Sassuolo got a point against Juventus was way back in October 2015, and since then Juve has scored 16 goals in five matches against them, conceding just two.

Even though Ronaldo has struggled in front of goal in recent games, Sassuolo is not exactly the strongest of opponent for Juventus and visiting the Allianz stadium is a daunting prospect for any Italian team, much less one with a bad record like Sassuolo.

Juve's home form and dominance over their visitors means that we could be in for a thrashing on Sunday, and if another high scoring game is played out, it is hard to see Ronaldo not being among the goalscorers.
