Prediction: 2-1
Sassuolo
Juventus will look to kick off the new Serie A campaign in great manner when they take on Sassuolo at Allianz Stadium on Monday. The club management did well to sign the likes of Andrea Cambiaso, Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, and Bremer in the summer transfer window, but Paulo Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi, and Matthijs de Ligt are no longer parts of the team. Juve are eager to regain Scudetto, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Sassuolo.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, will be without Filip Djuricic in the new Serie A campaign as the Serbia forward joined Sampdoria on a free transfer. Summer signing Agustin Alvarez is likely to make his Sassuolo debut against Juventus, but that is unlikely to help the visitors grab something from the match as Massimiliano Allegri’s men are desperate to make a flying start to the season. Keep in mind, though, that all Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Weston McKennie, and Adrien Rabiot miss out with injuries.
