Serie A 2025-2026: Sassuolo-Udinese, the likely lineups

At lunchtime, the Sassuolo-Udinese challenge, a match valid for the fifth day of Serie A, is staged at the Mapei Stadium. It’s the first match of a Sunday packed with matches across Europe (here, continuously updated, are the probable lineups of numerous matches to be played throughout Europe on the day).

The hosts, currently with only one success in the league (and eliminated from the Coppa Italia), are looking for prompt redemption, relying on the trident formed by Berardi, Pinamonti and Laurienté.

On the other hand, the Friulians want to continue the good moment. With seven points in the league and rebounding from the passage of the round in the Coppa Italia, the Bianconeri have just found the real Zaniolo.

In the 22 previous meetings between the two teams, Udinese has won on eight occasions while Sassuolo has won four times (10 draws). The last three challenges have all ended in a draw.

SASSUOLO (4-3-3): Muric; Coulibaly, Idzes, Muharemovic, Doig; Vranckx, Matic, Koné; Berardi, Pinamonti, Laurienté. All. Grosso

UDINESE (3-5-2): Sava; Bertola, Kristensen, Solet; Ehizibue, Piotrowski, Karlström, Atta, Zemura; Zaniolo, Davis. All. Runjaic
