Sassuolo vs Udinese Prediction 25 September 2016

Tournament: Serie A
Location: Mapei Stadium
Match date: 09/25/2016 at 14:00

Sassuolo take on Udinese at Mapei Stadium in the sixth round of the Serie A.

Udinese have only one way of playing on the road – park a bus and rare counter-attacks. They bind their opponents hand and foot and prevent them from creating any scoring chances. No wonder, Udinese’s away games contain so little goals scored, especially in the first half. They managed to hold 0:0 score till 65th minute at Roma and till 88th at Milan. And we are talking about attacking sides.

No doubt they will try to play the same way against Sassuolo and we do not expect many goals today. Udinese will play defense, while Sassuolo aren’t in their best shape at the moment, so they are unlikely to beat massive defense. Sassuolo scored over 1 goal in 1 of their last 5 Serie A games.

Obviously, absence of Berardi affects the hosts too seriously. Last matchday Sassuolo managed to make only 2 shots on target against Chievo and managed to score due to serious mistake of their opponents.

In fact, Udinese tend to keep their goal shut till the halftime. They failed to do so only in 4 of their 19 away games last season. Current Sassuolo aren’t high-scoring, that’s why Udinese’s bus can succeed. In addition, the two teams scored just 6 goals in their last 5 head-to-heads (1:1, 0:0, 0:1, 1:1, 1:0).

In their last 3 home matches Sassuolo scored only 1 goals before the halftime (against Pescara), while Genoa and Athletic managed to hold a draw in the first half. Udinese in their turn failed to score over 1 goal on the road for about a year. We do not expect many goals scored in this game.
