Sassuolo
Udinese
- The usual trio will start up front after Domenico Berardi provided assists for both of his attacking teammates against Milan.
- Eusebio Di Francesco could recall Sime Vrsaljko to the starting XI after he missed the previous game.
- Giampiero Pinzi and Thomas Heurtaux are available after serving their respective suspensions, but only the latter is expected to start.
- Cyril Thereau will partner Antonio Di Natale up front, providing a better link between the Italian striker and the midfield.
Di Natale and Thereau will be a threat to Sassuolo who will likely try to step up on the gas at home. They are fighters so if they go behind you can expect them to get back. The second half could define this game with Udinese particularly having weaker 2nds (conceding) and Sass scoring more in the second. I am going for Udinese to score in the first half.
Forza Sassuolo! 2-1 Berardi, Zaza - Di Natale
