Betting on Sassuolo
Sassuolo is comfortably mid-standings and has little to play for except for finishing the season as high as possible to improve its historical records.
After a five-game unbeaten streak, which was halted by its loss to Verona last weekend, Alessio Dionisi’s men are twelfth with 37 points, 15 points above the relegation zone, which is currently held by its latest opponent.
If it weren’t for Sassuolo‘s inconsistency throughout the season, the team would be much closer to Atalanta in the Conference League spots, which is currently 11 points ahead with nine games left to play.
This season, Sassuolo has beaten clubs like Milan, Roma, and the one and only Atalanta, but has dropped points against teams in the relegation zone, such as Verona last week, as well as Sampdoria and Cremonese.
One of the main reasons for this performance is that the team has the fifth-worst defense in Serie A, conceding 43 goals, which has prevented it from taking full advantage of the 37 goals it has scored so far.
As for its home performance, Sassuolo is one of the best in this sport, having secured 21 points out of 42 possible at home. Besides, it has only lost one of its last five home games, and is currently on a three-game unbeaten streak at its own stadium.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Andrea Consigli; Rogério, Ruan Tressoldi, Martin Erlic, Nadir Zortea; Matheus Henrique, Maxime Lopez, Davide Frattesi; Armand Laurienté, Andrea Pinamonti, Domenico Berardi.
Betting on Juventus
Atalanta’s defeat last week keeps Juventus’ hopes alive of clinching a European spot at the end of the season, despite its setback against Lazio.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side currently holds seventh place in the standings with 44 points, only four points behind Atalanta in the Conference League spot with 27 games left to play in the Italian tournament.
Although Juventus came close to at least getting a point at Stadio Olimpico, that loss could have been quickly forgotten after winning 1-0 at home against Sporting Lisboa in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals.
At times, Juventus was outplayed by the Portuguese, but it managed to secure a victory that could boost its morale to keep climbing in Serie A after receiving a 15-point penalty in early January.
This team remains the third-best defense in the league by conceding only 24 goals in 29 games played, while its offense has gradually been awakening and is now fifth with 47 goals scored.
As an away team, Juventus is the fifth-best team in the league, having secured 23 points out of 42 possible and only conceding 12 goals. However, it has only scored 13 times away, and has lost five of its six games on the road in the tournament.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Mattia Perin; Danilo, Bremer, Federico Gatti; Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Juan Cuadrado; Angel Di Maria, Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite its defeat last week, Sassuolo comes into this match playing well and has shown throughout the season that it can beat top teams in the standings.
However, the team has also shown inconsistency and has lost to bottom-ranked clubs. This is why Juventus has a great opportunity to continue its push towards Europe,
motivated by its Thursday result against Sporting and the need to grab three points before facing league leaders Napoli next week.
Juventus‘ defense has been strong all season, even on the road. If its attack can have a good day against Sassuolo’s weak defense, victory should be assured.
Moreover, Juventus has not lost in the last six away games against Sassuolo, scoring at least three goals in four of those matches. This is a significant stat that makes it worth taking a risk with Juventus’ Moneyline (-105) on DraftKings, where you can win $95 for every $100 wagered.
Prediction: Juventus wins (SAS 1 – JUV 2).
