This weekend’s Serie A action includes clashes at both ends of the table, and these Udinese vs. Sassuolo predictions offer a key update. Hosts Udinese are pushing for a possible European spot in 8th, with Sassuolo outside the relegation zone in 15th.
Udinese vs. Sassuolo odds
1 – A draw – 13/5
2 – Udinese under 2.5 total goals – 27/100
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 26/25
4 – Both teams to score – 14/19
5 – A 1-1 draw – 13/2
Udinese and Sassuolo head into this game at opposite ends of the Serie A table but with form that reflects the opposite. The hosts could be in with a chance of battling for a European qualification spot before the end of the season, with visitors Sassuolo hoping to have enough in the tank to dodge a relegation battle.
However, Udinese’s positivity has been hit by just one league win since the start of 2023 and defeats against Juventus, Bologna and Torino. In contrast, Sassuolo have turned their poor start to the calendar year around in recent weeks, with seven points picked up in their last three league outings, including a 5-2 win away at defending champions Milan.
Despite Udinese being much higher in the table, they do not look likely to secure a win here, and Sassuolo will be confident of at least picking up a draw.
As indicated by their drop off in results, Udinese have also struggled for goals in 2023, with four scored in six, all of which have featured under two goals scored by Andrea Sottil’s side. Alessio Dionisi’s Sassuolo have fared slightly better, removing the goal burst at the San Siro, with four in five, and under 2.5 scored in each of those.
Only one of Udinese’s six league games since the start of January have featured over 2.5 goals scored in total by both teams across 90 minutes of action, with Sassuolo managing that feat just once in their last four matches.
A low-key draw looks to be a strong call in this game and it is not expected to significantly impact either side’s position in the table. But, as it stands, Sassuolo look better placed to achieve their objective of Serie A safety.

Sassuolo team news
Alessio Dionisi is still missing two key players through injury, with Jeremy Toljan and Andrea Pinamonti ruled out. Riccardo Marchizza could return to the starting fold, but the visitors are unlikely to make too many changes to a winning team.
