Will Cristiano Ronaldo finally grab his first Serie A goal? That's one thing some fans will be looking forward to as Juventus face Sassuolo on Sunday, September 16th.

Match Preview

So far, it has been a perfect start for Juventus, who lead the way after three games. That is really no surprise given La Vecchia Signora's dominance of the Italian football landscape over the past several seasons. However, what is surprising this season is the fact that Sassuolo have managed to force their way into the top five sides early on, especially considering how the Neroverdi were so poor last term.

It's still early, but Sassuolo are actually among the top scoring sides after three rounds, which is noteworthy as last term they simply could not seem to find the back of the net. They will be desperate to avoid another 7-0 humiliation in Turin as they travel to face Massimiliano Allegri's side this Sunday, and as Juventus do have a Champions League tie with Valencia coming up this week, the visitors will also hope that the Scudetto holders will be somewhat distracted with that task as they aim to pick up what would be a shock win.

Sassuolo have only beaten Juventus once before, and that was a 1-0 result on their home turf. Meanwhile, many viewers will be hoping to see new Juve signing Cristiano Ronaldo finally open his account. The Portuguese superstar opted to skip out on international duty with his nation over the break to continue traning with his new club, and although it obviously will take him time to get settled into a new league, people are nonetheless still eager to finally see him doing what he does best and start firing in the goals.
