Match Preview

The Watermelon Rind welcome Udinese Calcio to the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore on Saturday for this Serie A match. This match is something of a dead rubber with both teams looking set to finish the season comfortably in midtable regardless of the outcome here.

The Black and Greens were hammered in their last league match away to SSC Napoli. Expected goals of 3.2 to 1.2 in favour of Napoli indicates perhaps it was a fair result even if the scoreline was a little harsh.

Napoli were 4-0 up and coasting after 20 minutes and took their foot off the gas. Sassuolo were six down by the time Maxime Lopez grabbed a late consolation goal.

Sassuolo Calcio team news

Obiang, Hamed Junior Traorè, Abdou Harroui, Filippo Romagna, and Jeremy Toljan (collarbone fracture) will be unavailable for The Watermelon Rind due to injury on Saturday.

Sassuolo Calcio may look to make a few unforced changes to the side who were humiliated against SSC Napoli in their last league match.

Udinese Calcio team news

Ignacio Pussetto replaced Isaac Success midway through the first half due to injury. He looks likely to start in his place after scoring their only goal of the game. Injuries will also rule out Antonio Santurro (knee injury) for the trip to the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore.

Udinese Calcio may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against Inter Milano in their last league match. Gerard Deulofeu was particularly disappointing and had no real impact on the game. His place could come under threat here.
