Sassuolo v Juventus

Premier Sports 2, 7.45pm

The pressure is being ramped up on Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo and the Old Lady are unlikely to have things all their own way at Sassuolo.

Juventus kickstarted the season fully expected to clinch a tenth successive Serie A title, but they find themselves fifth with three games to go and have their work cut out to qualify for the Champions League.

Pirlo’s underachievers were thumped 3-0 at home to Milan on Sunday, and a team often regarded as masters in the art of defending are failing miserably in that department.

The Turin giants have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 league games and have conceded in each of their last seven on the road.

And that may lead to an enterprising affair at the Mapei Stadium, where both teams have scored in ten of Sassuolo’s last 11 matches.

The net has bulged at both ends in 21 of Sassuolo’s last 24 Serie A showdowns, while it has also clicked in 12 of Juve’s 17 away outings this season.

Torino v Milan

Premier Sports 1, 7.45pm

Milan were emphatic 3-0 winners at Juventus on Sunday and their quickfire return to Turin should result in a similar outcome.

Stefano Pioli’s road warriors have claimed maximum points in 14 of their 17 Serie A away games this term - they have lost only twice - and confidence is restored after consecutive wins to nil over Benevento and the Old Lady.

Milan now have a three-point cushion on fifth-placed Juve and they should strengthen their top-four hopes with victory at Torino, who have won just three times in 17 attempts on home soil.

Huesca v Athletic Bilbao

FreeSports, 7pm

Teams with an added incentive to pick up positive results often go off shorter than they should at the end of a season, and that is the case with Huesca at home to Athletic Bilbao.

With three games to go, Huesca are embroiled in a relegation scrap, yet are favourites to see off a side nine places and 16 points superior to them in the La Liga charts.

Huesca, who are one point from safety, suffered their fourth loss in five outings with a 2-1 defeat at mid-table Cadiz on Saturday.

Bilbao, on the other hand, arrive at the Estadio El Alcoraz unbeaten in nine league outings, and they still have an outside shot of clinching European qualification.

In fact, the Lions have suffered just three defeats in their last 19 league fixtures, and those reverses came against title challengers Barcelona (twice) and Atletico Madrid.

The Basque visitors have kept clean sheets in three of their last four away league games, which include a 1-0 win at highflying Sevilla, and with the draw-no-bet as an option they make plenty of appeal to prevail in Aragon.
