Sassuolo lost to Verona despite taking the lead through Abdou Harroui’s 34th-minute effort. Federico Ceccherini’s 84th-minute equaliser and Adolfo Gaich’s winner five minutes into the injury time handed The Watermelon Peel their 12th league-defeat of the season. The result ended their five-game unbeaten streak, that included four consecutive wins. The Black and Greens have recorded 10 top flight victories this season and their latest success came against Spezia last month, thanks to Domenico Berardi’s lone goal from the penalty spot 20 minutes from time.
Juventus, on the other hand, are also in pretty good form, having lost only one of their last eight outings across all competitions. Last weekend, Bianconneri suffered their sixth top flight defeat of the season away to Lazio despite the fact that Adrien Rabiot found the back of the net three minutes before the break. However, Massimiliano Allegri’s side quickly bounced back with a victory over Sporting Lisbon, and took a narrow advantage in the two-legged Europa League quarter-final tie. Federico Gatti’s 73rd-minute strike separated the two sides ate Allianz Stadium hand helped Juve keep one foot in the last four of Europe’s second tier competition. Meanwhile, Allegri’s side thrashed Sassuolo 3-0 in the reverse fixture in August last year courtesy of Angel di Maria’s opener and Dusan Vlahovic’s brace.
Sassuolo probable starting lineup: Consigli, Toljan, Erlic, Ruan, Rogerio, Frattesi, Lopez, Henrique, Bajrami, Pinamonti, Lauriente
Juvetus probable starting lineup: Perin, Danilo, Bremer, Gatti, Cuadrado, Fagioli, Paredes, Rabiot, Kostic, Milik, Vlahovic
