These Sassuolo vs. Udinese predictions see two teams looking to extend their four-game unbeaten streaks. The visitors are in remarkable form following a shock win against Roma, but will be keen to prove it was no fluke. 

Sassuolo vs. Udinese odds

  1. Udinese to win – 8/5
  2. Under 2.5 goals scored – 5/4
  3. Both teams to score – 3/5
  4. Gerard Deulofeu to score first – 7/1
  5. Andrea Pinamonti to score anytime – 9/4

Sassuolo host Udinese on Sunday afternoon looking for their first win in four games. The Neroverdi have avoided defeat in four but their lack of an attacking edge has seen them go two matches without scoring a goal. 

It seems almost inevitable that Alessio Dionisi’s side should struggle up front having lost their two top strikers in Gianluca Scamacca and Giacomo Raspadori over the summer. However, to further compound the issue, Domenico Berardi has been ruled out for the remainder of September through injury. 

Sassuolo’s goalless draw against Milan was a solid result, yet to follow it up with another 0-0 against newly-promoted Cremonese has raised concerns among the fan base. Sunday’s clash against Udinese, who have conceded just once in their last four games, is hardly going to reassure the Neroverdi faithful. 

The Zebrette’s strong early-season form was dismissed by many as an easy run of fixtures. However, last weekend’s 4-0 win over then-league-leaders Roma has dispelled that idea. Andrea Sottil’s side are well organised and benefit from a highly combative midfield, but are not short of creativity either. 

Having emerged as a genuine team to beat last weekend, Sunday’s task will be to show that they are able to sustain their strong form. Sassuolo will certainly not be as naïve as Roma, but we’re backing the visitors to secure a valuable three points at the Mapei. 

Given their struggles offensively, it would come as no surprise to see the hosts set up to frustrate their visitors. With last weekend an outlier, Udinese have not been a free-scoring team this season and given that Sassuolo managed to keep Milan at bay, a bet on under 2.5 goals scored could well pay off. 

The responsibility for unlocking the home defence will very much rest on the shoulders of Gerard Deulofeu. The forward did everything but score last weekend and was at the core of much of what his team did well and therefore is our tip to score first on Sunday. 

Udinese have secured three clean sheets in their last four games, but should they overcommit looking to unlock their hosts, there is a genuine chance that they could be caught on the counter-attack. Andrea Pinamonti struggled against the deep-lying Cremonese last weekend, but could have a more enjoyable time against Udinese and may add to his goal tally.

Sassuolo team news

Few changes are expected from Alessio Dionisi’s side, with Hamad Troare and Domenico Berardi both missing out through injury. Gregoire Defrel is an option up front should the manager be tempted to change his formula looking to fix the team’s goalscoring issues. 

Udinese team news

Andrea Sottil is likely to field a similar line-up to the last weekend’s win over Roma, although injury to Jaka Bijol will force changes in the midfield. With Adam Masina and Leonardo Buta already sidelined, Enzo Ebosse came on last weekend with  Bram Nuytinck an option for Sunday’s game.
