Sassuolo vs Udinese Prediction 28 September 2025
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Sassuolo and Udinese in the 5th round of Serie A? The match will take place at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia and promises to be one of the most fiercely contested fixtures of the round. The hosts are still adjusting to the demands of the top tier and gradually finding their rhythm, while the "Little Zebras" look more assured and have already secured a spot in the upper half of the table. Both teams are in need of points, so there won't be an easy ride for either side.
Head-to-Head
📊 The recent head-to-head record between Sassuolo and Udinese reveals a relatively balanced rivalry, with a slight edge for the "Little Zebras." In their 22 encounters, Udinese have secured 8 victories, suffered 4 defeats, and drawn 10 times. Their most recent clashes took place in the 2023/24 season, before the "Black and Greens" were relegated to Serie B. Both meetings ended without a winner: a 2-2 draw at Udinese's ground was followed by a 1-1 stalemate at Sassuolo's stadium.
Head-to-head statistics Sassuolo - Udinese
Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Sassuolo, newly promoted from Serie B, are currently struggling to gather points. After four rounds, the team sits in 14th place, with just one win and three losses. It's worth noting, though, that their early schedule has been challenging, having already faced prestigious clubs like Napoli (0-2), Lazio (0-1), and Inter (1-2). In their last outing, the Neroverdi went up against the Nerazzurri away from home: the match was dominated by the hosts, but Sassuolo managed to score in the 84th minute, making it a nervy ending for their opponents.
📌 Following this defeat, the Coppa Italia clash against Como turned into a real embarrassment. On September 24th, in the round of 32, Sassuolo faced the Larians and delivered a noticeably weak performance: they held possession for only 29% of the game, created almost no chances, and conceded three goals in the first half. After the break, Como eased off, which meant spectators saw no more goals in the second half (0-3).

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Udinese have made a solid start to the championship. After four rounds, they find themselves in the upper half of the table with 7 points. The "Little Zebras" have also been impressive in terms of gameplay, with the exception of their match against Milan last weekend. In that encounter, Udinese didn't resemble their usual selves and suffered a 3-0 defeat at home: their defenders made glaring errors, and Romanian goalkeeper Răzvan Sava struggled even with shots aimed at the near post.
📌 Following the setback against Milan, the team managed to play another match - in the Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia against Palermo. The "Little Zebras" played with more confidence than their opponents, scoring two goals in the first half and maintaining control in the second half, despite conceding a late goal. The result was a 2-1 victory and progression to the next round.

Latest news
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Head coach Fabio Grosso acknowledged the fairness of the outcome against Como (0-3): "I would field the same lineup again-Como were superior to us in every aspect, played an excellent match, and deservedly advanced. We failed to correctly interpret several game situations. We have the quality to perform better, but it didn't happen today due to our mistakes and their merits."
🚫 Sassuolo face no injury concerns ahead of their upcoming match-all players are available for the coaching staff, allowing them to field their optimal lineup.
Udinese Calcio
📣 Head coach Kosta Runjaic emphasized the significance of the 2-1 victory over Palermo and praised certain players: "The main goal today was to advance, and we achieved that. Our opponents were formidable, a team built to secure promotion to Serie A, and we knew it would be tough against such an aggressive side, strong in duels. We scored at the right moment, and I'm very pleased with Zaniolo's performance. Miller also found the net-he's a talent with immense potential."
🚫 Udinese have a couple of absences: experienced goalkeeper Daniele Padelli is sidelined with a knee injury and is expected to return by mid-October. Additionally, young Spanish forward Iker Bravo will not play as he has been called up for national team duty.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Head-to-head encounters between Sassuolo and Udinese on the "Neroverdi's" turf have seldom been high-scoring affairs. The total under 2.5 goals has hit in 9 out of their last 10 Serie A meetings. This trend could continue as Sassuolo, since returning to the top flight, opts for a cautious approach, often playing on the back foot to avoid exposing their defense against more seasoned opponents.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Interestingly, despite the low-scoring nature of their clashes, these matches tend to feature plenty of corners. In five consecutive Serie A games between Sassuolo and Udinese, at least 10 corners have been taken. With both sides playing cautiously and creating few clear-cut chances, attacks often culminate in crosses and cutbacks, leading to a high number of corners. Therefore, it makes sense to go with total over 9.5 corners.
Editorial Prediction
Sassuolo are seen as slight favorites in the upcoming clash, primarily due to their home advantage, according to the bookmakers' perspective. However, Udinese have been more convincing in their performances during this phase of the league. The "Little Zebras" have displayed high-quality football in five out of six official matches this season, even managing an impressive away victory over formidable Inter (2-1). Moreover, after their 0-3 defeat to Milan, the visitors are likely to adopt a more cautious defensive approach to avoid past mistakes. Against this backdrop, a sensible bet would be Udinese not to lose. We anticipate a 0-1 scoreline on the board.
