Matchday 5 sees Juventus travel to Reggio Emilia, where they take on Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday evening, a venue in which the Bianconeri have historically thrived.
Juve have won both their away games at the start of the 2023/24 campaign, and will no doubt look to make it three from three in the 18:00 CEST kick-off against the Neroverdi.
For more pre-match curiosities, see these five standout stats below:
NEMESIS | Juventus is the team against which Sassuolo has both lost the most games (14 out of 20) and conceded the most goals (47) in its history in Serie A.
MAPEI MEMORIES | The Bianconeri have scored twice as many goals as Sassuolo in 10 Serie A matches at the Mapei Stadium: 20 goals to the host’s 10.
AWAY FORM | Juventus have won their first two league away games without conceding any goals, and should they do the same in Reggio Emilia, would earn three away successes and clean sheets in the first three away games of a Serie A for the first time since 2014/15.
ELITE COMPANY | Dusan Vlahovic (four goals in this season’s first four matches) is chasing an impressive record: a goal against Sassuolo will see the Serbian striker become only the fifth Juventus player in the last 40 years to reach at least five goals in the first five rounds after Cristiano Ronaldo (five in 20/21), Paulo Dybala (eight in 17/18), David Trezeguet (six in 2007/ 08) and Alessandro Del Piero (six in 2002/03).
ON TARGET | Sassuolo, together with Atalanta, is one of the two teams against which Danilo has scored more than one goal in Serie A. The Brazilian has scored two goals against the Neroverdi, on 15 July 2020 at the Mapei Stadium and on 10 January 2021 at the Allianz Stadium.
