Udinese vs Roma: Match Prediction
Roma should take points without much difficulty. Roma are in good form, remaining unbeaten in 6 of their last 8 league matches (5 wins, 1 draw); during that period the team lost to Atalanta and Juventus. Udinese, by contrast, have only two wins in their last seven Serie A games (2 draws, 3 defeats), one of which was against a league outsider. Moreover, Udinese have lost six straight league meetings with Roma.
However, Udinese will try to fight. The home side are solid defensively at Friuli: in their last 9 Serie A matches they conceded more than two goals only twice. Roma have no problems creating chances, but a goal-fest is unlikely. In terms of scoring, Roma are behind seven rivals, and the team have not recorded a big-margin victory in the current championship.
Prediction: Roma Draw No Bet and Under 3.5 goals
