Udinese meet Sassuolo in Serie A on Sunday in a relegation clash between two sides hovering just above the drop zone at present.
After recent top-half finishes, neither side foresaw themselves making such poor starts, but three points here will be greatly beneficial to whoever comes out victorious ahead of the new year.
That leaves their 30-year stay in the top flight under threat, but they are outside the relegation zone heading into the weekend, even if only by goal difference ahead of Empoli.
Udinese's only win so far this season came against all odds at San Siro against AC Milan, but they had no luck at the same venue last weekend, losing 4-0 to league leaders Inter Milan.
Not getting over the line has been Udinese's problem, as they have been the draw specialists in Serie A, seeing nine of their 15 games end all square so far this season.
