Udinese vs AS Roma prediction

THE FORECAST

Roma sit third with 21 points and a dominant defensive record (0.9 GA, 5 clean sheets) against a Udinese side mired in the relegation zone with a single goal across five matches and a lengthy injury list decimating key positions. Roma's injury concerns (Dybala, Pellegrini, Svilar, Ndicka among others) are significant, and with a Champions League fixture just three days after this match rotation is likely, yet their squad depth under Gasperini remains superior to a Udinese attack that has fundamentally broken down. Mild, dry conditions suit Roma's pressing style, and with Udinese's coach under serious pressure and no clean sheets outside of one fortunate result, the visitors are firmly favoured to collect three points on the road.
