Sassuolo (4-2-3, 15 points) and Juventus (3-3-3, 12 points) will face off at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore on Wednesday, October 28 for a 2015-2016 Serie A season matchup.
I Neroverdi lost its second game in their last three matches to fall down to the sixth spot of the league table.
After their 0-1 loss to Empoli last October 4, they nipped Lazio, 2-1, in their next game. However, their most recent match is again a loss, this time a 1-2 setback against AC Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza last Sunday, via Goal.
Goalie Andrew Consigli was sent off at the 29th minute for a foul he committed against Milan striker Carlos Bacca within the penalty area. The Colombian made the penalty kick to give I Rossoneri a 1-0 lead in the first half.
In the second half, Sassuolo striker Domenico Berardi managed to level the count at 1-1 eight minutes into the payoff period, but Milan forward Luiz Adriano found the goal at the 86th minute to deny the point for Eusebio Di Francesco's side.
Meanwhile, the defending champions pulled off a 2-0 win against Atalanta at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday, as per BBC Sport.
Strikers Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandžukić led the attack of Massimiliano Allegri's men, scoring a goal in each half to dominate middling La Dea right at their home turf.
Juve only lost once in their last six games, with three wins and two draws, and they hope to continue their slow climb back among the league leaders in this game versus Sassuolo.
The predicted result is a 3-1 conquest of Juventus.
Sassuolo starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Consigli; Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso; Laribi, Magnanelli, Missiroli; Berardi, Defrel, Flores
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-1-2 formation): Buffon; Padoin, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Pereyra; Dybala, Mandzukic
