I assume that Juventus aren't going for any player except Kostic now. I still doubt that the current squad is enough for them. They need an improvement in the midfield especially as Pogba is injured and Rabiot is about to sign for Manchester United. If they don't do this they might have problems there again. Allegri must be targeting to win the league title this time. But in this way they might still stay behind teams like Inter and Milan.
If Juventus still needs other players then the target is not only Serie A but also the Champions League, because if the target is only Serie A then I believe the current squad even without Pogba who is injured Juventus will still be able to compete in the title race. The quality of the Serie A teams now looks balanced, moreover Roma who managed to recruit Matic, Wijnaldum and Dybala they are also tough competitors in the race for the Serie A title but for competition in the Champions League these Serie A teams are still not strong enough.

I agree with you, that Sassuolo cannot be underestimated. They can be able to make a surprise at any time. The first match, of course, all clubs have not fully recognized the strength of their opponents, because they made changes. On paper, maybe Juventus is more superior in any way. But our Sassuolo power doesn't know what it will be.
I think Juventus will still beat Sassuolo. It should not be forgotten that the Atlético Madrid match is a friendly match. Things will be different in the league. Juventus beats like I said. Only injuries can hinder Juventus a bit. They can resume their game at the highest level if the injuries are over soon.
The performance of these two teams was not very good before the league started but indeed this even though it has nothing to do with the League but obviously if they can't correct their mistakes then indeed the team that can put on the best performance will win.

True, Sassuolo can't be underestimated even by big teams. They always make it difficult for some of the teams that have a higher level above them. The match will be very interesting because one team is the team that is now the favourite, on the other hand Sassuolo is a team that has the potential to be able to hold or even beat Juventus. Yes, that is what is desired, so that the competition is unpredictable.
Sassuolo's chances of winning are still there but if you place a bet, how do you see the match between these two teams? sure you will bet for Sassuolo?if you look at the history of the two teams' meetings, would you bet on Sassuolo?
If you look at the squad material for both teams, would you still bet on Sassuolo?
Juventus is not a completely invincible team, but seeing the opportunities, there will be more who place bets for Juventus. I didn't expect there to be such a big surprise.

I agree, Juventus also could be very good, but that doesn't change that Sassuolo is also quite good. They made some great transfers to pick them to a higher level. They were never seen as the team who is "just outside of the top title fighters" level for many years now, but looking at the past few years, and looking at how they are making transfers now, it is clear that they want to be there. Milan, Inter, Juventus these are teams that are always fighting for a title, but teams like napoli, lazio etc are teams we all know as just behind the top ones, Sassuolo wants to be there and they do have the talent to be there as well.

Juventus still have Rabiot, Locatelli and McKennie apart from Paul Pogba who is rumor will be absent, Massimiliano Allegri still has Di Maria as an alternative, there is also Arthur Melo and Nicolo Rovella on the bench. Vice versa I doubt the defense. Can Bremer replace Matthijs de Ligt's contribution in defense. Although before this he performed well with Torino, the situation is different because Gleison Bremer will play for a top team in Serie A.
Based on the Guardian report Juventus have reach agreement with Manchester United about Adrien Rabiot transfer with values £15m, I think just waiting with official announcement between Manchester United and Juventus about Rabiot transfer, actually Juventus losing one midfielder again after Paul Pogba got long injury. How ever with not consistent performance from Adrien Rabiot selling him before finding replacement I think very bad decision made by Juventus, few days later Serie A will begin against with Sassuolo on the first match, but Juventus have losing their midfielder, will find new replacement before Serie A match begin?Despite the news that Adrien Rabiot has agreed to a move to Manchester United, on the other hand Filip Kostic is alleged to have agreed to his move to Juventus. There has been no clarification from Manchester United and Juventus regarding Adrien Rabiot, while Eintracht Frankfurt have confirmed that they sell Kostic to Juventus in the 2022 summer transfer window. So Allegri made the right decision right?

Sassuolo gave a positive signal to other teams with the moves made in the transfer market, slowly but surely Sassuolo will be able to compete with other elite teams. Sassuolo couldn't bounce back so quickly, there are still a few areas to improve, but they've done it gradually. Clubs trying to break into the ranks of the elite will take several years to compete at the top. Newcastle, which has just turned into a rich club in the Premier League, also needs time to build up its squad strength, it is impossible for Sassuolo to rise to the top of the rankings in a very short time.

This is an important season for Juventus. And for the coach of course. Last year completely failed in the competition but also in the Champions League. Only one thing can be expected from a club like Juventus and that is to become champions. If they come in 2nd it will be disappointing but it will still be acceptable if Inter were just better. Last season the rest wasn't really great in the whole league, but Juventus was just really bad, and the start of the league was dramatic. If after 10 matches they have already lost 4 times then you actually already have no chance to become champion. Competition at the top has become increasingly evenly matched.
Based on the arrangement on ground, showed that Juventus will win this season title because their managements has spend a huge amount of money to signed in new potential players that will make the team not to experience any poor performance in this season. I don't think, inter can stop Juventus not to achieve this title in this season because their coach is fully prepared to ensure they get it right in this season so that people will know that things has change in the team. No doubt, Juventus will not experience failure in this season, because their players are willing to perform very well to make their coach happy in this season.

Sassuolo are a mid-table team they have relatively closed the season in mid-table. So nothing is good enough for them. If they want to be in 4th place then Sassuolo will have to overhaul their squad to be stronger and be able to compete with top Serie A teams like Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.maybe Roma is a team that has a better performance if we look at them last season, mourinho presence in Roma was a surprise for them last season by winning the UEFA Conference League. So as roma become the strongest contender next season to challenge juventus and ac milan in the top flight.
Just because one loss doesn't mean that they will keep playing that badly. Sometimes even the greatest teams end up with a bad result against unexpected teams. But, when we are talking about something that is barely there, it would be weird to consider the team as bad right away.
Juventus is good, Sassuolo is good, they will battle it out and we will see who wins, Juventus seems like the better team, but at the end of the day we shouldn't really be shocked to learn that we couldn't rely on just one game to make a calculation but even without that game we still end up with the same result so I can't say that you are that much wrong in the long run.
But before the match starts, you also have to watch Milan vs Udinese. This match is no less important than Juventus vs Sassuolo because both teams play their first matches at home. I'm the favorite of Milan and Juventus for the positive trend in their first game of the season, so there won't be much doubt about them on my side.Juventus is good, Sassuolo is good, they will battle it out and we will see who wins, Juventus seems like the better team, but at the end of the day we shouldn't really be shocked to learn that we couldn't rely on just one game to make a calculation but even without that game we still end up with the same result so I can't say that you are that much wrong in the long run.
Milan, Inter, Juventus and Napoli will likely not be under much pressure in their first game considering that the opposing team is not as strong as expected. Udinese, Verona, Sassoulo and Lecce look more likely to lose, but Juventus vs Sassuolo there is a possibility of a draw if you look at his performance during pre-season.

Sassuolo isn't in the good shape because yesterday they were lose from Serie C team Modena on Coppa Italy but Juventus also not really different than them because they were humiliated by Atletico with big score 4-0 and Juventus also faced midfield crisis because some of their midfielder players got injured and also in the forward line Juventus still cannot get the replacement of Dybala but indeed most people will predict Juventus will win and let's see who will be the winner of this match

Juventus lost to Atletico I don't think it will have any effect in Serie A, they are aware that their defense is still easily penetrated and this will obviously be a good lesson for Allegri in concocting formations and the players who already know their mistakes.
On the other hand, Sassuolo can still win but their chances of a draw are greater.

Milan's absent players in their attacking line can be a really serious obstacle for them against Udinese. However Milan are still a much better team than them in terms of quality. Even if they have problems with finding a striker for the position they can still win the game thanks to their midfielders and wingers. By the way Rebic can play as a striker also. I'm aware of Milan's bad luck against their opponent recently also but I expect them to break a leg finally.
I still really don’t think that Udinese will be able to give too many problems to AC Milan. If we look at the last season we will see that Udinese was a mid-table team and obviously nowhere near AC Milan. And obviously, the quality of squat is better for AC Milan. They just have a few problems in the team right now and that is why people are thinking that they are in a vulnerable state. And they will have to find a permanent solution instead of temporary ones like playing a player of another position in the striker position.Milan is obviously a better team if we compare them to the next opponent that they have. And they are obviously going to be better than certain teams because they are the defending champion of the Italian league. But they are obviously not better than Inter, at least not right now in my opinion. Now obviously not having Ibrahimovic is not going to be the end of the world for Milan. But when the other teams in the Italian league are making very big changes to their squad, Millan did not make too many changes to improve the squad. And the other teams which are going to be the main competitor of Milan have got quite better compared to them in my opinion. That’s why I am not very confident about Milan.
Juventus - Sassuolo is another nice match on the first week of the season. Unlike the bookmakers I think that this match is going to be a really close and competitive one. Sassuolo are known as a very durable team against the biggest teams of this league. This is a new season of course and we don't have any idea about how they will perform this time. My expectation from the result of the match is that Juventus would be victorious by a one-goal difference.
Yes, this game will be an interesting match to watch but I can not figure out what the outcome will be because I don't rely on the bookmarker's analysis I take my prediction based on the form of a team. The game will be competitive as you said because the Juventus team is not informed right now judging by their last performance against ATM, again Juventus team is incomplete because their key midfielder being Paul Pogba is injured so it will be a thing of luck if they come out victorious against Sassuolo. The Sassuolo team lost yesterday in their coppa Italian match but based on the past meetings with Juventus, the two teams have scored against each other in their last six meetings so am predicting both teams to score in the game.
Why should Milan get rid of Ibrahimovic? He has a very modest salary and most likely this season will be transitional for him and as a result he will move to the club structure in an administrative position. Do you think that Milan do not understand what to expect from an injured 40-year-old player and count on him as the main striker in the upcoming season? 
Yup, I thought about that too. It is possible Ibrahimovic became AC Milan's staff after he decided to retire. Therefore I say, Milan should be able to immediately find a replacement for Ibrahimovic, and not rely too much on him. Maybe 1 or 2 seasons ahead, there is still the potential if Ibra made a decision doesn't want to retire, that's when we will see, whether Milan will extend, or offer a position on the staff to join Maldini or let him go.

I wonder if Juventus will manage to solve their problem in the midfield before the new season becomes underway. Because Pogba is out for a very long time as it seems. They have been targeting Milinkovic-Savic actually but there is no update about that now. Juventus' biggest weakness has been their midfield as you know. If they go on with the current condition in this season then I wonder how they are thinking of dealing with this.
I guess, Juventus coach is about to solve the problem in the mind of their fans, because he discovered that the issues of his talented players that are injury right now will definitely affect their performance in this season. The coach is about to bring in the midfielder that can handle Paul Pogba position and other players for their coming match to ensure they achieve victory at the end of the match for people to know that they are well prepared for this season. I think, there is a strong confident in the mind of their coach that Juventus will not experience any defeat from any match until their players fully recover from their injury.Juventus should not be able to solve this problem easily. This problem is not something that can be overlooked. They have problems in almost every position. I really don’t know how they will be able to fix the problem. I know the coach is striving to do everything in his power to make things better. But I doubt that you will be able to start the season with the positive mindset that they would have if they had all the players available to them.
And whatever substitution or replacement they use for Paul Pogba I really don’t think that player will be in a position to offer what Paul Pogba could have. Juventus had a poor start to the last season. If I am not mistaken, last season was also problematic for them due to injuries and it doesn't appear to be getting any better this year.
