Udinese, Recent FormAfter a crushing 4-0 away loss to Inter Milan, the Udinese squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. Their share of possession in that meeting was 25%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Inter Milan, who had 17 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Manager Gabriele Cioffi will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn their last 4 league games at home and having not won any of their last 9, I Bianconeri will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
Goalscorer Lorenzo Lucca will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Udinese.
Sassuolo, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Cagliari will have left the Sassuolo squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Cagliari's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Alessio Dionisi will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 10 goals they scored. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 23 games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
The Sassuolo travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Domenico Berardi, who's scored 5 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
The Sassuolo defence has struggled at Stadio Friuli, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
Sassuolo will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 10 league meetings with Udinese.
Udinese manager Gabriele Cioffi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jaka Bijol (Ankle), Keinan Davis (Calf), Gerard Deulofeu (Cruciate ligament), Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament), Vivaldo Semedo (Muscle) and Brenner Souza da Silva (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
