The Serie A matchday 23 clash between Udinese vs Roma will take place on february 2 at the Friuli Stadium. Udinese vs Roma: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Udinese
In the previous round, Udinese won away to Verona (3:1). It was only the second win in the home side’s last seven league matches (2 draws, 3 defeats), and Costa Runjaić’s men conceded in every game during that spell. However, it is worth noting that Udinese scored more than two goals for the first time in 14 previous Serie A outings. In the standings, the club has consolidated 10th place.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Udinese’s last 7 league games.
- At home, the club has failed to win 5 of the previous 6 matches in this competition (2 draws, 3 defeats).
- The team has not scored more than once in 6 of the last 7 home Serie A matches.
Potential Udinese Lineup (3-5-2)*
Maduka Okoye – Thomas Kristensen, Umar Solet, Nicola Bertola – Alessandro Zanoli, Arthur Atta, Jesper Karlström, Jordan Zemura, Lennom Miller – Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Keinan Davis.
Midfielders Nicolo Zaniolo and Jakub Piotrowski, as well as striker Adam Buksa, will miss out through injury.
Roma
In the last round, Roma’s three-match winning run in the league came to an end, but the opponent was Milan (1:1). It was Roma’s first draw of the current season, and the away side now shares the tag of the most uncompromising team with Inter, which is 9 points ahead in the standings. Among the teams in the European places, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has the most modest attacking return – just 27 goals.
- Roma have scored in 7 of the last 8 league matches.
- The team has gone 14 away Serie A matches without a draw (9 wins, 5 draws).
- On the road, Roma have conceded in 5 of the previous 7 matches in this competition.
Potential Roma Lineup (3-4-3)*
Mile Svilar – Gianluca Mancini, Evan Ndicka, Daniele Ghilardi – Wesley França, Kouadio Koné, Bryan Cristante, Zeki Çelik – Matías Soulé, Paulo Dybala, Donyell Malen.
Defender Mario Hermoso, midfielder Manu Koné, as well as forwards Stephan El Shaarawy and Artem Dovbyk, will miss the match through injury.

Udinese vs Roma: Match Prediction
Roma should pick up points without too many problems. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side is in good form, having avoided defeat in 6 of the last 8 league matches (5 wins, 1 draw), with the only losses in that stretch coming against European-chasing Atalanta and Juventus. Udinese, by contrast, have just two wins in the previous seven Serie A games (2 draws, 3 defeats), one of which came against the competition’s bottom side. In addition, Udinese have lost six straight league head-to-head meetings with Roma.
However, Costa Runjaić’s men will look to put up a fight. At home, Udinese have defended reasonably well: in the last nine Serie A matches, the team has conceded more than two goals only twice. Roma have not had issues with converting chances, but a goal fest is unlikely from the visitors. In terms of goals scored, Roma trail as many as seven rivals, and in the current league campaign Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has not recorded a single big win.
Prediction: Roma win or draw and Under 3.5 goals
