Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with an impressive Sassuolo side in a crucial encounter at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday.
Udinese vs Sassuolo Preview
Sassuolo are currently in 14th place in the Serie A standings and are yet to hit their stride so far this season. The Neroverdi slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Cagliari in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have been in poor form this season. The home side suffered a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Inter Milan last week and will need to step up to the plate in this match.
