The Bianconeri are fifth in Serie A, one point behind Como.

Juventus backed up a 4-0 victory over Pisa with a 1-0 triumph over Udinese, and could record three consecutive wins with an accompanying clean sheet for the first time in Serie A in over a year when it faces Sassuolo on Sunday (AEDT).

Should Juventus win against Sassuolo, Spalletti will become the fourth manager to reach 300 victories in Serie A history.

And he has urged his Juventus side to embrace the pressure it faces, especially for the sake of the fans.

"Pressure is a privilege that belongs only to those who have a history to honour and to want to write," the Juventus boss said.

"What defines a team is the way it faces risk. We, as a reference, don't just have the result of a match but all the people who make up the atmosphere, who are our fans.

"That is our reference: there is nothing that has the value of the love that our fans have for us.

"The team will have to continue to be a team, to prepare the matches well in their heads, to know how to take risks because it has to be done.

"Let's take as an example the match against Sassuolo. Fabio Grosso is a good coach. Sassuolo is one of the best teams for footballing ideas, both when they regain the ball wanting to immediately turn the action around and when they build from the back.

"There will be a need to be good at reading the moments of the match."

Sassuolo, meanwhile, sits 10th in Serie A, and is coming into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats to Lazio and Bologna, which ended a three-game winning run.
