Home: Udinese
- Udinese’s recent form has been mixed with two wins, a draw and two defeats in their last five, but they did beat Roma 1-0 at the Dacia Arena and take down Hellas Verona 3-1 in their most recent away match.
- Udinese are currently ninth in the 2025-2026 Serie A standings with 32 points from 24 games while Sassuolo are 11th with 29 points.
Away: Sassuolo
- Sassuolo can take some momentum into their trip to play Udinese Calcio on Sunday when they seek to back up a 3-1 home victory over their Serie A opponents from four months ago.
- Fabio Grosso’s side have a slightly better recent record than the Zebrette, winning two and losing three of their last five games in which they beat Pisa 3-1 away from home, but were hammered 5-0 by Inter at the Mapei Stadium.
Head-to-Head
- Sassuolo beat Udinese 3-1 in their last Serie A matchup at home four months ago.
- Udinese have failed to win either of their last two home games against Sassuolo in Serie A, although the Neroverdi have only won one of their last three away from Reggio Emilia.
Key Players
- Kosta Runjaic has imprinted his footy philosophy on the Zebrette since taking over in June 2024 with a high-tempo, attack-minded mentality that sees his side press as a unit and transition quickly.
- Keinan Davis leads the scoring charts for Udinese with seven goals in 22 Serie A appearances, while Domenico Berardi has a relatively modest five in 14 for Sassuolo.
Betting Insights
- Sassuolo have only just been edged out in the odds for this mid-table clash with Udinese currently having a slight edge at 2.32 with the Neroverdi coming in at 3.2 and the draw at 3.1.
- Under 2.5 goals looks the best play in the goals markets at 1.65, however, as Sassuolo concede an average of 1.25 goals per game away from home in Serie A and Udinese average 1.33 goals conceded per game at the Dacia Arena.
Prediction
Home advantage, Udinese’s slightly better form and the odds of 2.32 mean the hosts are the preferred selection to edge this game.
