Using a VPN to watch Sassuolo vs Juventus

If the match is not available in your region or you are affected by local blackout rules, a VPN offers a workaround.

Devices such as Apple TV, Roku, and games consoles usually need a different route, either via Smart DNS from your VPN provider or by casting/mirroring from a VPN-connected phone or laptop.

Team news: Sassuolo light on numbers but full of intent

Aquilani has to juggle a lengthy injury list. Fali Candé, Ismael Koné, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Daniel Boloca, Yeferson Paz, Sebastian Walukiewicz, Cristian Volpato, and Darryl Bakola are all sidelined. No suspensions ease the strain, but the options are still thin.

Arijanet Muric is expected to start in goal. In front of him, a back four of Fedde Leysen, Jay Idzes, Josh Doig, and Simone Cinquegrano should line up, with Nemanja Matic bringing experience and control in midfield alongside Vasilije Adžić.

Higher up, Kieron Bowie, Sebastiano Esposito, and Armand Laurienté are set to provide the creative spark and running behind the front line, giving Sassuolo the mobility to test a reshuffled Juventus defence.

Juventus stretched but still unbeaten

Luciano Spalletti’s squad looks even more stripped back. Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Kenan Yildiz, Juan Cabal, Weston McKennie, Arkadiusz Milik, Jeremie Boga, and Jeff Ekhator are all unavailable, forcing changes across the pitch.

Guglielmo Vicario is in line to start in goal. The back line is expected to feature Jhon Lucumí, Gleison Bremer, Mehmet Zeki Çelik, and Pierre Kalulu, a unit built on pace and aggression rather than long-standing familiarity.

Ahead of them, Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz bring control and range, with Nico González, Kerim Alajbegovic, and Chico Conceição tasked with linking midfield to attack and feeding Randal Kolo Muani as the central striker. Pape Matar Sarr has been edging back towards full fitness and could bolster the midfield if he is passed fit in time.

Form guide: Sassuolo sharp at home, Juve steady on the road

Sassuolo arrive in decent shape. Across their last five competitive games, they have won three, drawn one, and lost one, with a Coppa Italia victory over Cesena part of that run. They have scored eight and conceded six in that stretch.

Their last outing ended 2-2 away at Bologna, a game that underlined both their attacking ambition and defensive vulnerability. At home, though, they have already shown edge and resilience, beating Torino 2-1 in their previous Serie A match at the Mapei.

Juventus, for all the absentees, have been quietly efficient. They have two wins and two draws from their last four competitive fixtures, with their only recent defeat coming in a pre-season friendly against Inter.

In Serie A, they remain unbeaten. Wins away at Frosinone and Parma set the tone, before a 1-1 draw with AC Milan offered a sterner early test. Across those three league matches, Juventus have scored four and conceded just two, keeping a clean sheet on the opening day at Frosinone.

Head-to-head: small margins, big stakes

The recent history between these two has swung back and forth. The last meeting, at the Allianz Stadium in March 2026, finished 1-1. Before that, Juventus travelled to Sassuolo in January 2026 and won 3-0, a reminder of what they can do when they click.

Over the last five Serie A clashes between the sides, Juventus have three wins to Sassuolo’s two, with 11 goals shared in total. No stalemates beyond that most recent draw, no predictability. When these two meet, something usually gives.

Table picture

The standings add a little extra edge. Sassuolo sit tenth in Serie A, a solid, quietly confident position heading into this test. Juventus are sixth, looking upwards and conscious that dropped points here could stall early momentum.

One side chasing credibility as a genuine top-half force, the other chasing the standards of old. With both squads stretched and both attacks capable of damage, who blinks first in Emilia?
