Roma

WLDLDD

Roma go into this fixture following on from a 1-1 Serie A draw versus Genoa.

In that match, Roma had 51% possession and 16 shots at goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Roma was Artem Dovbyk (37'). Genoa had 20 shots at goal with 8 on target. Koni De Winter (96') was the scorer for Genoa.

Roma have not been in good attacking form in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 4 against opposition teams over their last 6 outings. In those games, Roma have also seen the tally of goals scored against them total 5. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

Ahead of this clash, Roma are unbeaten in the league by Udinese in their previous 3 games.

Udinese

WWDWWW 📈

Udinese head into the meeting following on from a 2-3 Serie A win over Parma in their last match.

In that game, Udinese managed 53% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 6 on target. For Udinese, the goalscorers were Lorenzo Lucca (49') and Florian Thauvin (68', 77'). At the other end, Parma got 9 shots at goal with 3 on target. Enrico Delprato (2') and Ange-Yoan Bonny (43') scored for Parma.

In their previous 6 clashes, Udinese have helped themselves to a tally of 12 goals. Udinese have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. During those fixtures, they have seen 4 goals go against them.

Looking at their past form shows that Udinese:

• are winless against Roma when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches away from home.

👥 Head to head

A sum of 17 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 10 from i Giallorossi and 7 for Bianconeri Friuliani. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.83.

📰 Team News: Roma

Enzo Le Fée (muscular problems) and Alexis Saelemaekers (Ankle surgery) will not be able to play for Roma .

It’s our opinion that i Giallorossi will probably line up in a 3-4-2-1 system for this game featuring Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Stephan El Shaarawy, Niccolo Pisilli, Bryan Cristante, Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Artem Dovbyk.

📋 Team News: Udinese

Udinese manager Kosta Runjaić has some current player fitness concerns. Lautaro Giannetti (Muscle fatigue), Gerard Deulofeu (Knee surgery) and Alexis Sánchez (Calf problems) won’t be making appearances.

It’s our belief that Bianconeri Friuliani could decide to elect for a 3-4-2-1 lineup, choosing Maduka Okoye, Christian Kabasele, Jaka Bijol, Thomas Kristensen, Kingsley Ehizibue, Hassane Kamara, Jesper Karlstroem, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Florian Thauvin, Brenner da Silva and Lorenzo Lucca.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Roma will, in all likelihood, have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the same time, Udinese may well struggle to score a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Roma after 90 minutes.
