Roma vs Udinese prediction, odds and preview

Roma will look to bounce back to winning ways when they host Udinese at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

After their Europa League defeat to Slavia Prague and a goalless derby draw with Lazio, the Giallorossi will look to grab all three points at home against a struggling Udinese side.

Udinese will travel to the Italian capital as clear underdogs after losing 12 of their last 14 away games against Roma in Serie A, with a negative aggregate score of 34-13.

Nevertheless, picking up four points from games against AC Milan and Atalanta earlier this month has aided Gabriel Cioffi’s men move clear of the relegation zone in 16th place with 11 points from 12 matches.

Roma have now failed to score in two of their last three league matches and Jose Mourinho will look to turn his attack’s fortunes around on Sunday night.

The hosts will eye a fifth win from seven home matches in Serie A this season as the Giallorossi have won six of their last nine meetings with Udinese, who have recorded just one league win so far this season.

Eight draws so far this campaign for Udinese represents the most across Europe’s top five leagues as the visitors could frustrate Roma’s pursuit of grabbing all three points at home.

Udinese are unbeaten in each of their last seven away games under current coach Gabriele Cioffi and Roma will have to be at their utmost best to entrench their superiority in this encounter.

Kickoff is scheduled for 17:00 GMT.
