The date of the Juventus and Sassuolo match in the Italian League
Juventus will be a heavy guest against Sassuolo today, Sunday, April 16, 2023, at 17:00 GMT.
Juventus ranks seventh in the Italian League ranking table with 44 points, while Sassuolo is in twelfth place with 37 points.
Beaten by second-placed Lazio last time out in the league, Juve's points deduction leaves them with plenty of ground to make up; meanwhile, their hosts have followed a four-match winning run with just one point from their last two games.
Bouncing back at the first opportunity from a disappointing defeat in Rome last week, Juventus put one foot in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday, with an edgy 1-0 win over Sporting in Turin.
Though Wojciech Szczesny was withdrawn before the break due to feeling chest pain, regular cup keeper Mattia Perin stepped into the breach and made several smart saves to preserve a lead earned by the unlikely figure of Federico Gatti - the return leg in Lisbon awaits next week.
A controversial Coppa Italia draw against Inter earlier this month means their semi-final tie in Italy's cup competition remains in the balance ahead of its second leg, but the Old Lady could yet secure silverware from a crisis-hit campaign.
