Udinese and Sassuolo face off in a crucial match on Sunday at the Stadio Friuli as the Serie A returns to action with a second round of games this weekend. After a clearly subpar start to their league campaign, Sassuolo is now in 15th place in the Serie A standings.
In their previous match, the Neroverdi edged out Atalanta for a crucial 1-0 victory and will attempt to repeat that feat this weekend. On the other hand, Udinese is currently ranked eighth in the league and has performed fairly well thus far this season.
Last week, the home team lost to Torino by a narrow 1-0 score, and they will need to get back on track in this game.

Udinese vs Sassuolo Prediction :
In recent weeks, Sassuolo has improved and defeated AC Milan and Atalanta, among others. Domenico Berardi, who has been devastated this season, will attempt to make an impact in this match. This season, Udinese have been dishonest, and this weekend, they have a point to prove.
On paper, Sassuolo appears to be the superior team, and they should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Udinese 1-3 Sassuolo
Udinese vs Sassuolo Head to head :
Udinese has won eight of the last 19 games against Sassuolo, compared to Sassuolo’s four victories. Udinese has a good record against Sassuolo. In Serie A, Udinese has not lost to Sassuolo since March 2018, when they lost to the Neroverdi in their previous match.
Udinese could complete the league double against the Neroverdi for only the third time in their top-flight history after winning the reverse match against Sassuolo. In Serie A, Udinese has scored at least two goals in each of their last three matches against Sassuolo at home.
Udinese could fail to score in consecutive league games for the first time since January 2022, losing their previous Serie A match by a score of 1-0. Udinese has scored in each of their last ten games at home, their best home record in Serie A since 2017.
Udinese vs Sassuolo Team news :
Roberto Pereyra, captain of Udinese, should return to action this week, albeit most likely on the bench, following a muscular issue that has kept him sidelined recently. However, due to an adductor injury, Ilija Nestorovski remains a major doubt, and Gerard Deulofeu recently underwent knee surgery and will not be available for several weeks.
Beto and Isaac Success will be back together at the front in his absence, though January signing Florian Thauvin is also a possibility. Beto has scored three goals in two previous encounters, including his last league brace in September, giving him an average of one goal every 37 minutes against Sassuolo.
In contrast, in several years of trying, Sassuolo’s star player Domenico Berardi has only scored once against the Bianconeri. However, he ought to start on Sunday in place of lone striker Gregoire Defrel. The latter will continue to play in place of regular Andrea Pinamonti, who is out with an injury.
If he scores at the Dacia Arena, he will become the fourth French player to score 50 goals in Serie A, joining Cyril Thereau, Michel Platini, and David Trezeguet. In the meantime, fellow defenders Jeremy Toljan and Mert Muldur are both out with injuries, so Riccardo Marchizza is likely to fill in for Rogerio, who is suspended.
