Sassuolo vs. Udinese odds
1 – Sassuolo to win – 15/11
2 – Sassuolo to score over 1.5 goals – 17/20
3 – Domenico Berardi to score anytime – 13/5
4 – Both teams to score – 6/13
5 – 1-1 draw – 7/1
Sassuolo welcome Udinese to the Mapei stadium on Saturday looking for their first win over the Zebrette in eight games. With both teams mid table with three matches to go, neither has much to play for but the hosts will be hoping to end a miserable run of form.
The home side have lost their last three matches, with their most recent being a 6-1 thrashing by Napoli. That said, the recent fixture list has been tricky for Sassuolo who had been previously enjoying a productive spell. The Neroverdi tend to perform well at home and will be keen for a response to last weekend and therefore are our tip to win on Saturday.
Alessio Dionisi is likely to see his squad decimated by sales over the summer, with the likes of Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori in the shop window. Indeed Sassuolo’s front line has been highly impressive this season, scoring the seventh-most goals in Serie A.
With 35 games played Sassuolo have notched 60 goals, meaning a bet on them to score over 1.5 against Udinese is backed by their form. Domenico Berardi, meanwhile, is our tip to score anytime for the hosts.
Unfortunately for the Neroverdi, their attacking form is let down by their defensive composure, which explains why they sit four places lower than their goalscoring would suggest. Sassuolo have let in one more than they have scored this season, while their Saturday opponents have a zero goal difference.
With Isaac Success adding to Udinese’s injury list, fans will have been pleased that his replacement Isnacio Pussetto scored within 45 minutes for Gabreile Cioffi. With both sides averaging over a goal scored and a goal conceded per game, a bet on both teams to score this weekend should pay off.
Given that both teams come into the match separated by just three points in the table and with little to play for, it would come as no surprise to see honours shared equally at the Mapei. For punters looking for high odds, a bet on the match to finish 1-1 would be our tip.

Sassuolo team news
Alessio Dionisi has the majority of his first-team squad available, although Jeremy Toljan and Abdou Harroui are sidelined through injury and Giorgos Kyriakopoulos is suspended. The coach may look to make changes after his team’s heavy defeat to Napoli last weekend, with Filip Djuricic losing out in favour of Hamed Traore.
Udinese team news
The Zebrette’s two centre-forwards, Isaac Success and Beto, are both sidelined through injury for Saturday’s game, meaning a start for Ignacio Pussetto. Jean-Victor Makengo is able to return following suspension and will hope to step back into central midfield, with Tolgay Arslan potentially dropping to the bench.
