The ball starts rolling once again in Italy, in a strange season that will see recess while the national team is not qualified for the FIFA World Cup. In the opening round, Juventus will host Sassuolo at Allianz Stadium. The home team, as usual, is favourite for the win, so we suggest betting for them for this game.

After two seasons without being champions, conquering the Scudetto is nearly an obligation for the Vecchia Signora. They had a very busy transfer market this summer, signing players such as Ángel Di María and defender Andrea Cambiaso. They are also waiting for Euro 2020 star Federico Chiesa to recover from his injury and be a reinforcement for the team with his amazing play and goals. This way, they made up for losing players such as Matthijs de Ligt, Paulo Dybala or Merih Demiral.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri stated that winning Serie A is a "duty" for his team. The 21/22 season was the first trophyless season for the Turin based team in 11 years, so the fans are eager for their players to put on a good display of football and lift a trophy once again.

Reality is very different for Sassuolo. After a nearly top half finish last season, they will need to show if their concenr will be avoiding relegation or if they can dream of a European qualification. This kind of matches seem very difficult, but can also show where they stand in comparison to the elite of Italian football.

意甲联赛，这是一个奇怪的赛季，当国家队没有资格参加国际足联世界杯时，这个赛季将会休战。首轮，尤文图斯将在安联球场迎战萨索洛。与往常一样，主队是获胜的热门球队，因此我们建议选择尤文胜。

在两个赛季都没有成为冠军之后，征服意甲联赛几乎是他们的目标。今年夏天他们的转会市场非常繁忙，签下了安赫尔·迪玛丽亚和后卫安德里亚·坎比亚索等球员。他们还在等待 2020 年欧洲杯球星费德里科·基耶萨从伤病中恢复过来，并以他惊人的表现和进球为球队增援。通过这种方式，他们弥补了失去的球员，如马蒂斯·德利赫特、保罗·迪巴拉或梅里·德米拉尔。

主教练马西米利亚诺·阿莱格里表示，赢得意甲冠军是他球队的“职责”。 21/22赛季是这支都灵球队11年来第一个没有奖杯的赛季，球迷们都很期待让他们的球员展现出色的足球表现并再次举起奖杯。

现实对萨索洛来说是非常不同的。在上赛季接近上半场结束后，他们需要证明他们的关注点是否会避免降级，或者他们是否可以梦想获得欧洲资格。这样的比赛看起来难度很大，但也能显示出他们与意大利足坛精英相比的位置。
