Juventus vs Sassuolo Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Juventus:
Szczesny; Danilo, Demiral, Bonucci, Frabotta; Chiesa, Rabiot, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Dybala, Ronaldo
Sassuolo:
Consigli; Toljan, Chiriches, Ferrari, Rogerio; Locatelli, Lopez; Traore, Djuricic, Boga; Caputo
Juventus host Sassuolo at the Allianz Stadium in the last Sunday's fixture. The Old Lady beat Milan during the midweek and now have 30 points, seven less than leaders. Even more, the difference could be cut to only four points as Juve have a match in hand, against Napoli. The derby was originally scheduled for October 4, but Napoli did not travel to Turin for the fixture and match was registered with an automatic 3:0 victory for Juventus, while Napoli received one-point penalty. The Vesuvians took their case to the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) Sports Guarantee Board. Their decision was in favour of Napoli, so the match will have to be replayed. As You could see, the last period was very turbulent for the reigning champions. They also lost 3:0 from Fiorentina in the ultimate match in 2020. Coach Andrea Pirlo came under huge pressure, but two victories in 2021 improved the matters. The Bianconeri first beat Udinese with 4:1. Cristiano Ronaldo was double scorer on that match, while the remaining two goals were scored by Federico Chiesa and Paulo Dybala. On Wednesday Juve faced the hardest possible test - visit the leaders Milan at San Siro. The players were under big pressure as the defeat would produce 13 points gap, however they showed a class and registered a deserved 3:1 victory. This time it was Federico Chiesa who made the difference. He scored the first two goals, while Weston McKennie also put his name on the scoring sheet. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent at the moment, while the players confidence is high. But Pirlo has big defensive problems ahead of this match. He will be missing full-backs Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro after the pair tested positive just before the Milan game. Central defender Matthijs de Ligt also went into quarantine on Friday. Alvaro Morata is still sidelined with a muscle injury, so Paulo Dybala and Ronaldo should start in attack.
Sassuolo have 29 points, just one less than Juventus. The record of 8 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats is the best record at this stage in their top-flight history. The Neroverdi are very close to the Champions League spots, however I am not sure about their ambitions. The actual form isn't at desired level, they have one win and one defeat in 2021. Sassuolo have suffered a heavy 5:1 defeat to Atalanta in the first match in the new year. It was a disappointing performance by Roberto De Zerbi's players. In addition, the coach admitted he punished Filip Djuricic by sending him to the stands against Atalanta: “He had a wrong attitude with me before the Sampdoria game. He trained well after what happened, but it was fair to leave him out today. Rules must be respected. He is the player I’ve coached the most during my career," said De Zerbi. On Wednesday Sassuolo returned to the winning way by beating Genoa with 2:1. The key name on that match was Jeremie Boga, who scored one and created another goal. The winger made the most of a stunning Manuel Locatelli cross-field pass and gave advantage to his team in the 52nd minute. Genoa equalized 12 minutes later, but Boga’s cross found the head of Giacomo Raspadori for all three points in the 83rd minute. I believe the atmosphere in the squad have improved, but coach De Zerbi has new problem. Key striker Domenico Berardi has suffered a thigh injury and will miss the match against Juventus. Berardi has contributed seven goals in 15 games so far this term and his absence is a big handicap. In addition, Filippo Romagna remain sidelined.
Juventus vs Sassuolo Prediction:
I expect an efficient match in Turin. The last results of both teams are the main reason for the pick. Juventus won 4:1 against Udinese and 3:1 against AC Milan. Sassuolo, meanwhile, lost 5:1 in Bergamo and won 2:1 against Genoa. In addition, the Old Lady have lot of problems in defense as Juan Cuadrado. Alex Sandro and Matthijs de Ligt are in quarantine. I believe there could be at least four goals, but I still decide to suggest a safer option. That means Your stake will return if exactly three goals come in this match.

Genoa
It is a pity that they lose to Sassuolo at 1-2 in last game, which is the first defeat they have got since Davide Nicola take the charge of them. They rank the nineteenth in the table of the League. They still have a far way to go.
Bologna
They play against Udinese in last game. They have 2 goals lead but then draw with Udinese at 2-2. It is because their key player, Mattias Svanberg has been injured and sent off. They have been winless for seven matches. The last victory they have got is from Crotone in November, 2020.
Verdict:
Bologna have got one victory in away game this season. And they have lost to Genoa for four times in the past. The Asian handicap first odd is Bologna -0.25, which is unreasonable. It is predicted that Genoa will win.

Roma vs Inter Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Roma:
Pau Lopez; Ibanez, Smalling, Mancini; Karsdorp, Villar, Veretout, Spinazzola; Lorenzo Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Dzeko
Inter:
Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Vidal, Darmian; Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez
Roma welcome second-placed Inter to the Stadio Olimpico in their Serie A fixture on Sunday lunchtime. The Giallorossi are third on the table with 33 points, but need a victory here to remain competitive in the Champions League battle. The actual form is very good, three wins on the last three matches in Serie A. First they beat Cagliari with 3:2. The victory was secured in the final 20 minutes thanks to goals scored by Edin Dzeko and Gianluca Mancini. Previously Veretout netted in the first half. Paulo Fonseca's men beat Sampdoria with 1:0 in the next encounter. Once again the victory was secured in the final 20 minutes and once again Edin Dzeko was the scorer. It was a hard match played in hard weather conditions. The heavy rain and horribly soaked pitch produced big problems to the players, but Roma found a way to register an important victory. On Wednesday the capital club outplayed Crotone to secure a 3:1 away win. The match was decided in the first half thanks to the Spanish striker Borja Mayoral who scored twice in a rare league start. The third goal was scored by penalty converted by Mkhitaryan. Winning against so called "small teams" isn't a problem, but playing against other top teams in Italy is quite opposite for Roma. The Giallorossi have failed to win any of their four games played against big teams in Serie A so far this season. They picked up draws against Milan and Juventus, while lost to Napoli and Atalanta. Overall, they have scored 6, while conceded 13 goals. The Portuguese coach could be the reason - Roma have only won three games from 17 against the top sides since Fonseca took the job in summer 2019. For this match Fonseca has some injury worries as Pedro, Federico Fazio, goalkeeper Antonio Mirante are sidelined, plus long-term absentees Javier Pastore and Nicolo Zaniolo. Full-back Davide Santon has returned to training and could make the bench, while Leonardo Spinazzola is rated as doubtful due to a muscle injury.
Inter are on the second position with 36 points, one behind Milan. The actual form is not at desired level, they have one win and one defeat on two matches in new year. They outplayed Crotone securing a high 6:2 victory at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the first Serie A game of 2021. Lautaro Martinez was the key name on that match after scored a hat-trick, while the remaining three goals were scored by Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi and Luca Marrone (own goal). It was the first league hat-trick of an Inter player since Mauro Icardi in March 2017. However, the Nerazzurri were unfortunate to lose 2:1 against Sampdoria in midweek. Alexis Sanchez, who replaced Romelu Lukaku in the starting eleven - saw an early penalty saved before the former Inter players Antonio Candreva and Keita Balde scored for Sampdoria. Second-half header from Stefan de Vrij wasn't enough to escape the defeat and ended a run of eight straight victories. The 'consolation' goal came within minutes of Lukaku's arrival from the bench and showed Inter's reliance on their key striker. It is clear Lautaro Martinez struggles when paired with Alexix Sanchez. The good news was that table-topping city rivals AC Milan also lost to leave them just one point behind. Another good news for the coach Antonio Conte is that Romelu Lukaku is ready to start here. But there are some injury issues too. Defender Danilo D'Ambrosio injured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee last time out and will be sidelined for a longer period. Matias Vecino and Andrea Pinamonti remain sidelined through injury. Marcelo Brozovic has to be careful as another yellow card could see them suspended for the next week's derby against Juventus.
Roma vs Inter Prediction:
This is a massive match for both clubs. Roma are in series of three victories and the players confidence is very high. Inter need a victory after the last defeat against Sampdoria, and ahead of next week's encounter with Juventus. I think Roma will not lose the match. It is true they are not too successful against top teams, but the home advantage and better form could be decisive here.
