Match Preview
The home side enters this match missing Keinan Davis who is a significant absentee today. He has contributed seven goals this season so his presence will be missed. Kosta Runjaic must find another way to unlock the defense without his leading man leading the line.
Nicolò Zaniolo is expected to start and carries a threat with five goals so far. He currently averages 0.36 goals per 90 minutes and often finds himself in the referee's book. His creativity is essential for Udinese to break down a stubborn Sassuolo defensive structure on Sunday.
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp provides stability in the midfield while averaging 69 minutes per match this season. He has netted three times already and will be crucial for ball retention. Udinese needs him to dictate play if they want to secure all three points at home against Sassuolo.
Fabio Grosso deals with several absences including the suspended Nemanja Matić in the midfield area. Domenico Berardi remains the main danger man having scored five goals this term. He averages 0.42 goals per 90 minutes and will likely lead the front three on February 15.
Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté are expected to support the attack during this tough road trip. Pinamonti has four goals while Laurienté has three despite playing fewer minutes per game. They must improve their finishing since the team failed to score in several recent matches this season.
Kristian Thorstvedt will be a key figure in the middle of the park for the visitors. He is quite aggressive having received six cards already this season. It will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of these top rated Serie A Predictions tonight.
Lecce secured a vital 2-1 victory over Udinese at the Via del Mare, marking their first win in nearly two months. New signing Gandelman opened the scoring early, but Solet equalized from the penalty spot. A late moment of brilliance from Lameck Banda, who converted a stunning free-kick, earned Di Francesco’s side three crucial points. This result moves the Salentini three points clear of the relegation zone.

Prediction
Under 2.5 Goals @1.65
Both teams have shown significant struggles in front of goal recently. Sassuolo has failed to score in 38% of their matches this season. Udinese is missing their top scorer Keinan Davis which limits their offensive output. Given that Sassuolo also missed out on scoring in three of their last five games the likelihood of a low scoring affair in Udine is very high.
The statistical data supports a cagey game between these two mid table sides. Udinese averages only 1 goal scored per match at home while Sassuolo averages 1.25 goals away. With critical midfielders like Nemanja Matić missing for the visitors the game should be tactical and slow. Expect both managers to prioritize defensive stability over taking risks which points toward fewer than 3 goals.
