The Serie A clash between Roma and Udinese promises excitement, with both teams entering Sunday's match at Stadio Olimpico in contrasting moods. Roma aim to stay close to the leaders in the title race, while Udinese look to keep their positive momentum alive.
Roma continue to push near the top of Serie A, hoping to catch the leading pack. After a slip against AC Milan, they regained confidence with a solid midweek performance against Rangers. Udinese arrive confident after ending Atalanta’s long unbeaten streak.
Under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma have collected seven wins from their opening ten matches, putting them in contention for the Scudetto. Their narrow defeat at San Siro reminded fans how difficult consistency can be in Serie A.
“Paulo Dybala even saw his usually ice-cold penalty touch desert him, his first miss from the spot in four years after 18 straight conversions.”
History favors Roma when these sides meet in the capital. Udinese have lost 14 of their last 16 Serie A visits to the Stadio Olimpico, with Roma winning five in a row—scoring at least twice in each encounter. The defensive contrast between the clubs remains significant.
Roma host Udinese looking to maintain their edge in the Serie A title chase, while the visitors aim to overturn years of poor results in the Italian capital.
