After the qualification of Inter Milan on Tuesday, a second favorite is expected at the turn to rally to the semi-finals of the Cup. Juventus Turin will play at home against an opponent of Sassuolo who will have to perform a very big match.

Before facing this quarter-final against Sassuolo, Juventus was able to gain confidence given its recent results. On January 12th, the Bianconeri had to lose to Inter Milan in the final of the Italian Super Cup, but recovered after this failure. Dusan Vlahovic’s team-mates fell to Udinese in the league, conceding the draw against AC Milan with the score of 0-0 then beat Hellas Verona this Sunday in the league. Meanwhile, the team managed to get rid of the Sampdoria of Genoa in the knockout stages of the cup to face Sassuolo this week.
From the side of Sassuolo, confidence remains largely less noticeable only in the ranks of Juve. Faced with a strong formation of a new effective scorer in the person of Vlahovic, the task promises to be complex. Indeed, Sassuolo is coming off a 4-0 loss to Sampdoria. Earlier, the draw at Torino slightly repaired the failure of the defeat suffered by the score of 4-2 against Verona, two defeats to two opponents beaten by Juve. Despite everything, the qualification was well and truly won against Cagliari with the score of 1-0, while this Thursday, players like Giacomo Raspadori or Federico Berardi are expected at the turn.
The opinion of the editorial staff: 3-1
Sassuolo has already played some bad tricks at Juve earlier in the season, but the current dynamic appears without appeal. Strong offensively, the Bianconeri are going through a prosperous period, a good omen a few days before the return of the Champions League. Qualification should not elude them.
Probable compositions
Juventus : Perin; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Pellegrini; Locatelli, Arthur, Zakaria; Kean, Vlahovic, Dybala
Sassuolo Subs not used: Pegolo; Muldur, Ayhan, Ferrari, Rogerio; Frattesi, Lopez; Traore, Raspadori, Berardi; Scamacca
