Udinese Preview
Udinese’s best ever start in Serie A vanished in thin air after attaining one win and achieving seven draws in the last 13 matches played.
That performance sent them to eighth place in the standings with 29 points, nine points behind the European places the team had been in the hunt for until a couple of weeks ago.
In addition, playing at home does not seem to be an advantage for Andrea Sottil’s team, as it has not won in six matchdays at home, achieving three draws and suffering three defeats.
In fact, overall Udinese is co-leader in draws in the Italian league with eight, the same number as Empoli and Lecce, and in 11 of their last 13 matches played it has scored one goal or less.
Possible Udinese lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri; Rodrigo Becão, Jaka Bijol, Nehuén Pérez; Kingsley Ehizibue, Lazar Samardžić, Walace, Tolgay Arslan, Iyenoma Udogie; Isaac Success, Beto.
Sassuolo Preview
Sassuolo has gradually climbed out of the relegation places, and its three-game undefeated streak has helped the team achieve their goal of staying in Serie A.
With a draw and two wins against good teams such as Milan and Atalanta, the Neroverdi climbed to 15th place in the standings with 23 points, nine more than Verona, who occupy the last place in the Serie B standings.
Indeed, these results should be used as inspiration to try to improve its record away from home. Alessio Dionisi’s men have only attained one win (against Milan) in their last seven matches played, and they have nine points from 11 matches played away from home.
The team’s main shortcoming on the road has been a poor defensive performance, as the 20 goals it has allowed are the third-highest amount in this condition in Serie A.
Possible Sassuolo lineup (4-3-3): Andrea Consigli; Rogério, Ruan Tressoldi, Martin Erlic, Nadir Zortea; Matheus Henrique, Pedro Obiang, Davide Frattesi; Armand Laurienté, Gregoire Drefel, Domenico Berardi.
JefeBet Prediction
In the first meeting of the season between the two teams on matchday 6, there was no shortage of action as Udinese claimed a 1-3 away win.
This Sunday, the tone should be no different, as the Sassuolo team has a weak defensive performance away from home, and Udinese, while not imposing offensively, has only failed to score in six of their 21 matches played.
Moreover, two of the last three meetings between the two have ended with at least four goals, and in those three matches both teams have scored.
Prediction: Both teams score (UDI 2 – SAS 2).
