Udinese - LDWLDL
Gerard Deulofeu (Knee surgery), Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament tear) and Sandi Lovric (Hamstring injury) won’t be able to feature for Udinese boss Gabriele Cioffi.
It seems likely that Bianconeri Friuliani look set to use the 3-5-1-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Maduka Okoye, Nehuen Perez, Jaka Bijol, Thomas Kristensen, Joao Ferreira, Oier Zarraga, Walace, Lazar Samardzic, Hassane Kamara, Roberto Pereyra and Lorenzo Lucca.
Udinese won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-2 Serie A loss in their previous game against Inter Milan.
In that game, Udinese managed 23% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Udinese was Lazar Samardžić (40'). For their opponents, Inter Milan got 23 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Hakan Çalhanoğlu (55') and Davide Frattesi (95') scored for Inter Milan.
It has been seldom in recent games where Udinese have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Udinese have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals during that time.
Pre-game facts show that Udinese: have left without a victory over Roma in their previous 2 league matches, have not won at home in their last 7 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
Roma - DLWDWW
From a largely available group, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Roma gaffer Daniele De Rossi to be concerned about. Sardar Azmoun (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
It’s our belief that i Giallorossi could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 system by sending out Mile Svilar, Rick Karsdorp, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Edoardo Bove, Leandro Paredes, Houssem Aouar, Tommaso Baldanzi, Romelu Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy.
Roma head into the encounter following a 0-1 Europa League win as they beat AC Milan in their previous match.
In that match, Roma managed 47% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Roma was Gianluca Mancini (17'). On the other side, AC Milan got 25 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target.
In 5 of the previous 6 clashes involving Roma, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game in that period comes out as a meagre 1.33, with the number of goals averaged by i Giallorossi standing at 0.83. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be continued on here.
Looking at their past form shows that Roma: have not beaten Udinese in away games against them for the last 2 league matches, haven't been defeated in their previous 5 away league matches, are without a win away from home in their last 2 league games.
Udinese possible starting lineup:
Okoye; Kristensen, Bijol, Perez; Ehizibue, Zarraga, Walace, Samardzic, Kamara; Pereyra; Lucca
Roma possible starting lineup:
Svilar; Karsdorp, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Bove; Baldanzi, Lukaku, Zalewski
Udinese vs AS Roma Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*AS Roma have an impressive recent record against Udinese and have won 33 out of the last 53 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Udinese's 11 victories.
*Since the start of the 2013-14 season, Udinese have lost 17 of their 21 matches against AS Roma in the Serie A - more defeats than any team has suffered against a single opponent in the competition during this period.
*Udinese scored four goals in their previous match at home against AS Roma in the Serie A - as many goals as they had scored in the 10 such games preceding this run.
*Udinese have picked up only 12 points from their games at home in the Serie A so far this season - only Salernitana have a worse record in this regard in the competition.
Prediction: Udinese 0-2 Roma
Since Udinese won 4-0 in their last home game against Roma, back in September 2022, much has changed at both clubs. A similar result in the visitors' favour is not totally improbable on this occasion, but the Giallorossi's margin of victory may just be a little narrower.
