H2H: Sassuolo vs Udinese - Prediction (Serie A

H2H: Sassuolo vs Udinese – Comparison.

Manuel Locatelli (SAS) netted a winner last time out, becoming the youngest Italian to score 2+ SA in 2020/21. Rodrigo de Paul scored his first league goal this season last Sunday, converting a penalty, which was Udinese’s first spot kick since April 2019! There’s been over 2.5 match goals in just three of Udinese’s last 11 away league matches and in only one of the seven SA H2Hs held here.

Sassuolo Insights.

With 14 points in the opening six Serie A (SA) rounds, Sassuolo are currently enjoying their best six-game start to a top-flight campaign (W4, D2). Entertaining second halves have been a common theme across those games, as the ’Neroverdi’ have scored 2+ goals after the 57th minute in each of the last five, including the win at Napoli last time out (2-0). Expect action here, as Sassuolo have scored eight goals in their opening three SA home matches, with 62.5% of them arriving beyond the 80th minute! However, the hosts have conceded the opener twice and have won just once here (W1, D2). Moreover, Sassuolo have lost two of the previous three SA H2Hs here, scoring no goals in the process (D1, L2).

Udinese Insights.

It’s been a poor start for Udinese so far after losing five of their opening six SA matches (W1), with the ’Bianconeri’ conceding the opener in all six! After the first three low-scoring fixtures (1.33 goals per game), each of their previous four competitive matches have produced over 2.5 match goals and seen both teams score (W2, L2). Udinese have lost both away SA matches this term, conceding in the first 15 minutes of the second half each time. However, the visitors won four of their final five away league matches of the 2019/20 season ’to-nil’, including the last H2H here.
