- Sassuolo have scored five goals and conceded five in their opening three league fixtures, a far more open profile than Juventus’ four scored and one conceded.
- Across their last 10 league games, Juventus have allowed only 2.5 shots on target per match, compared with Sassuolo conceding 4.4, giving the visitors the stronger defensive base heading into Sunday.

Recent attacking records for Sassuolo and Juventus are shown below.
Clean Sheet Runs
Recent defensive records for Sassuolo and Juventus are shown below.
Luciano Spalletti’s side have registered 55 attempts but scored only four league goals. Sassuolo, by contrast, have five goals from their first three games despite sitting on four points. Alberto Aquilani’s team have also shown enough resilience to beat Torino and come within stoppage time of defeating Bologna, so Juventus face opponents with rather more attacking bite than the early table positions alone might suggest.
Juventus Are Creating Far More Than They Are Finishing
The contrast between Juventus’ volume and end product is difficult to ignore. Across their last 10 league games they have averaged 17 attempts and 5.4 shots on target, yet only 1.1 goals per match. The pattern has continued this season: four goals from 55 attempts is a modest return for such sustained attacking activity.
Their 1-1 draw with AC Milan captured the issue neatly. Five shots on goal produced one equaliser, scored late by substitute Federico Gatti after he was used as an emergency striker. New forwards Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani are still waiting for their first goals.
That does not make Juventus toothless. A side averaging 57.5% possession, almost 495 passes and 7.3 corners across its last 10 league matches is clearly capable of establishing territory and generating repeated attacks. The question is whether Sassuolo can survive that accumulation without presenting enough clear openings for Juve to turn pressure into goals.
Sassuolo Carry More Threat Than Their Record Suggests
Sassuolo’s league results have been mixed, but their attacking return has been respectable: five goals across matches against Atalanta, Torino and Bologna. Their 2-2 draw at Bologna was achieved with only 39% possession, yet they still produced six shots on target.
That combination matters. Juventus may expect to control more of the ball, but Sassuolo have already shown they can score without dominating possession.
Armand Lauriente adds another interesting layer. He has attempted more shots without scoring than any player in Serie A this season, while his wider last-10-game numbers include two goals and two assists. There is obvious attacking involvement there, but also an efficiency question similar to Juventus’ own. Domenico Berardi, another player with two goals across Sassuolo’s last 10 league matches, gives Aquilani another proven source of output within the recent sample.
Juve’s Defence Is the Stronger Foundation
If Juventus’ attack remains unfinished business, their defensive numbers are far more convincing. They have conceded once in their opening three Serie A games and averaged only 0.6 goals against across the previous 10 league fixtures.
Opponents managed just 2.5 shots on goal per match during that longer run, from 8.7 attempts. That suggests the low concession rate is supported by limiting opponents rather than simply relying on finishing luck.
Sassuolo have been less secure. Their last 10 league matches brought an average of 1.4 goals conceded from 4.4 opposition shots on target, while this season they have conceded five in three. Juventus therefore face a defence that has been more permeable than their own, even if the visitors’ finishing has yet to exploit their attacking volume fully.
The selection problems complicate matters. Juventus are without Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Jeremie Boga and several others, with Weston McKennie only a possible return. Sassuolo also have absentees, but their squad is described as comparatively settled.
📊 Market Explainer
Win & Both Teams to Score

🎯 Pick 1: Juventus to win and both teams to score @ 23/10
Juventus enter this fixture unbeaten in Serie A with seven points from three matches, supported by an underlying pattern across their last 10 league games where they averaged 17 attempts and 5.4 shots on target per match. Although Luciano Spalletti’s side have converted only four goals from 55 attempts this season, their overall volume creates sustained territorial pressure. A team averaging 57.5% possession and 7.3 corners across its last 10 league outings possesses the required volume to break down an opponent that has already conceded five goals in three league matches.
Sassuolo provide a distinct attacking counterpoint that satisfies the goal-scoring element of this combined market. Alberto Aquilani’s side scored five times across their opening three league matches against Atalanta, Torino, and Bologna. In their 2-2 draw at Bologna, Sassuolo recorded six shots on target despite holding only 39% possession. With Armand Lauriente attempting more shots without scoring than any Serie A player this season alongside Domenico Berardi’s two goals across his last 10 league appearances, Sassuolo carry enough active threat to capitalise on rare opportunities, even against a defence allowing only 2.5 shots on target per match.
The primary risk to a Juventus win stems from missing key players like Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, and Kenan Yildiz. Nevertheless, Sassuolo’s backline has surrendered an average of 1.4 goals per game across their last 10 league fixtures, giving the unbeaten visitors a realistic platform to claim all three points while allowing the hosts onto the scoresheet.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Juventus registered 55 attempts across their opening three Serie A matches, averaging 17 shots per game over their last 10 league fixtures.
- Sassuolo scored five goals in three league games while generating six shots on target from 39% possession against Bologna.
- Sassuolo conceded 1.4 goals per match over their last 10 league games, facing an average of 4.4 shots on target.
Risk Factor: Juventus must improve finishing and avoid clean sheets to secure this bet, while Sassuolo's defence remains vulnerable.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 17.0 attempts and 5.4 shots on target over their last 10 league games, driving high box-entry figures.
Conceding 4.4 opposition shots on target per match and 1.4 goals per game over their last 10 league outings.
⚔️ Pick 2: Sassuolo vs Juventus 1-2 @ 13/2
A 1-2 scoreline reflects both Juventus’ territorial control and the recurring finishing patterns of both sides. To justify Juventus scoring twice, their underlying shot volume remains key. Across their last 10 league matches, Juventus averaged 17 attempts and 5.4 shots on target per game. They face a Sassuolo defence that has conceded five goals in three league matches this season and averaged 1.4 goals conceded from 4.4 opposition shots on target across their last 10 league outings. That defensive record suggests Juventus can turn their regular box entries into two goals, even with new forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade still searching for their first goals of the campaign.
To justify Sassuolo’s single goal, Aquilani’s side have shown notable efficiency when ceding the ball. They scored five goals in three fixtures this season, including a two-goal performance against Bologna where they registered six shots on target from 39% possession. With Armand Lauriente leading the league in shot attempts without a goal and Domenico Berardi providing two goals in his last 10 league games, Sassuolo possess enough threat to breach a Juventus defence that, while allowing only 0.6 goals per match across their last 10, did concede in their 1-1 draw with AC Milan.
The main vulnerability of an exact-score wager is its narrow tolerance. A clean sheet for Juventus or a third away goal would invalidate the selection, but 1-2 remains a defensible outcome based on the contrast between Juve’s attack and Sassuolo’s counter-attacking output.
Risk Factor: Exact score risk: clean sheets or extra goals invalidate the 1-2 prediction.
