Juve host Sassuolo in a bid to take fourth place

Saturday’s schedule of matchday 30 in the Serie A comes to a close at the Allianz Stadium with the clash between Juventus and Sassuolo. The hosts come into it after wins against Pisa and Udinese and are now chasing a third in a row to take fourth, at least until Sunday, when Como host Pisa at 12:30. Sassuolo, however, have lost their last two against Lazio and Bologna and will now want to try to turn things around.
