Italy – Serie A | Juventus VS Sassuolo; Wednesday, 17 January at 03:45 GMT +8

Juventus, despite a poor year due to financial malversation and a one-year ban by UEFA, are now focused on domestic competitions and are 2nd in Serie A. They secured the Coppa Italia Semi-Finals with a dominant 4:0 win against Frosinone, and are now aiming for a Champions League appearance. Despite Inter’s impressive performance, the deficit is only two points.

Sassuolo, currently 14th in the Serie A with 19 points, is expected to continue their negative trend this season. Despite being five points away from the danger zone, they are considered better than teams from the bottom of the league and are unlikely to face relegation. Unlike Juventus, Sassuolo failed to reach the Coppa Italia Semi-Finals, where Atalanta defeated them 3:1.

Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie are unavailable due to a one-game suspension after a fifth yellow card. Alex Sandro and Adrien Rabiot recover from injuries, and they should be in the starting lineup. Mattia De Sciglio and Moise Kean are also sidelined for weeks. Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba remain suspended for betting rules and doping bans.

Italian media reports that Jeremy Toljan, a starting right full-back for Saussolo, will likely miss the upcoming game due to an injury. Toljan, who has been a key player, is expected to start young Filippo Missori. Four other players remain sidelined.
