Why Winning Either Half Is Better Than Win Both Halves

3y ago

At the business end of the standings, looking to stroll to the league title once again, Juventus faced stiff competition from the likes of Atalanta, Lazio and Inter Milan. Even though the Bianconeri managed to defend their title, this season’s events show that Juve’s time at the top may be numbered.

That said, Sassuolo have been truly impressive this season, rising from their ruins to challenge for continental qualification. For a side touted to finish in the bottom half of the standings, the Neroverdi have definitely exceeded pre-season expectations.

Take nothing away from head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who has been at the heart of the club, spurring his boys on to success this term. Though they managed to miss out on Europe, they can give themselves a pat on the back for their resilience. Count on them to end the season with a win on the books.

Sassuolo vs Udinese Team News

What can we make of this Sassuolo side this season? Impressive, unpredictable and utterly ruthless. They have turned themselves into menaces, snatching points from some of the league’s elites, most prominently their 3-3 draw against newly-crowned champions Juventus a few weeks ago.

Given the Neroverdi manage to build on their displays this term, we might be in for some more Sassuolo masterclass next time around. Taking on relegation-threatened Genoa on the last matchday, with nothing to play for, many expected them to struggle to find motivation.

However, the Black and Greens turned in a performance of the highest quality on home turf to sweep their struggling opposition aside. Caputo registered a brace with Traore, Berardi and Raspadori also getting in amongst the goals to fire five unanswered efforts past Genoa’s goalie Perin.

Udinese, on the other hand, can have no complaints about their league campaign. Staying within touching distance of the drop-zone, Le Zebrette ensured they stayed clear of the relegation places all through the season. You cannot fault these players one bit.

Though they should be faulted for their displays against relegation-threatened outfit Lecce on the last matchday as they were narrowly defeated by the league strugglers. Having gotten the headstart in the 36^th minute, Lecce showed great character to come from behind to post a crucial 2-1 win.

For this fixture, Sassuolo are slight favorites for the win. They have been outstanding this season, and are poised to finish just below the final Europa League spot. With these achievements, they will probably raise the bar higher next season with a top-seven finish in sight.

The Neroverdi have remained unbeaten in eight of their preceding ten games across all competitions, losing just two games in that time – one of them coming against high-flying AC Milan. Also, on home turf, they have admitted defeat just once this year.

In a tale of contrasting fortunes, Udinese have failed to register a single win in four of their previous six games, and had remained winless in 14 of their preceding 19 away fixtures.
