After a really promising start to their campaign in Serie A, Udinese heads into this encounter on the back of a poor run of form.
In fact, the Bianconeri have now won just once in their previous 14 games in the Italian top flight after a 1-0 defeat against Bologna last time out in Serie A. The poor run of form has left Udinese nine points adrift of the European spots.
The Bologna game was another low-scoring league outing for Udinese, as four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
The Bianconeri have found home wins hard to come by in Serie A of late, as they have failed to win in six league games at the Dacia Arena.
The visitors head to Udine in decent recent form as a 1-0 home win over Atalanta last time out means that Sassuolo are now three league matches unbeaten and have now won back-to-back matches in the Italian top-flight.
The recent good run has moved Sassuolo away from Serie A’s relegation zone, as Alessio Dionisi’s team is now nine points clear of the danger zone. They could also move to within three points of their hosts with a victory in this clash.
Sassuolo’s recent away record is poor, as they have lost five of their previous seven league games on their travels.
However, they have picked up four points from their last two Serie A games on their travels, including recording an impressive 5-2 win at reigning champions Milan.
