14th- against 12th place might not seem all that tempting to look into. Fear not: Here's the facts that makes Udinese - Sassuolo (even) more entertaining!
- Udinese have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Sassuolo have the fewest matches over the total-line (3) in Serie A
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Udinese form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Udinese have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Dacia Arena. Udinese have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
The fans are hoping that Udinese will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Serie A game against Inter (placed 3rd). Roberto Pereyra, a striker, was the highest rated player for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 7.12 (out of 10). Pereyra hit one key pass.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hellas Verona that ended 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Udinese perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Udinese as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Udinese has won two of these, drawn three and lost six.
The Udinese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Sassuolo form and stats
Playing away, Sassuolo have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Serie A this season.
Sassuolo might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Empoli proved too strong as Sassuolo slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore. Sassuolo were so close to getting something from the game against Empoli, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime. Defender Gian Marco Ferrari was the best team player with a rating of 7.63. Ferrari won 4 of 5 duels.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Juventus.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sassuolo playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were five Sassuolo wins, two draws and two defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Sassuolo's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 5 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Sassuolo have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
