Sassuolo form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sassuolo's two home games in the Serie A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. The last three games played by Sassuolo, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 220 minutes without scoring a league goal. Pinamonti was the last player to find the net. Sassuolo are confident in defense, having played 225 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Sassuolo shared the glory with Cremonese in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The striker Lauriente was declared "man of the match" for Sassuolo with the rating of 7.64/10. Lauriente hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Milan that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sassuolo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sassuolo as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Sassuolo has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

At MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore, Sassuolo has the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Udinese form and stats

Udinese are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

238 minutes! That's how long the Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Udinese go into this game after a win, the home game against Roma that ended 4-0. As you can tell from the results above, Udinese was very dominant against Roma, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Samardžić, Lovrić, Udogie and Pereyra providing the goals. Midfielder Pereyra was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.13. Pereyra scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Fiorentina.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Udinese playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 0 Udinese wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Udinese has scored 4 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Udinese have won at least one point in the last 8 games (4-4-0) facing Sassuolo.
