AS Roma vs Udinese Prediction 22 Sep 2024

⚽ Serie A - Round 5 Preview

📅 22 Sep 2024

⏰ 17:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

AS Roma’s start to the Serie A season has been disappointing, as they remain winless after four games (D3, L1). Their recent 1-1 draw with Genoa, featuring a late equaliser conceded, marked their worst start since the 2010/11 season. The poor run led to the sacking of Daniele De Rossi, with Ivan Jurić appointed as his replacement. Adding to Roma’s woes, Alexis Saelemaekers is sidelined with an ankle injury, likely for at least two months. Roma's only home match this season ended in a surprise 2-1 defeat to Empoli, and they have won just one of their last five competitive home games (D1, L3), conceding before the break in all four games they didn’t win.

Udinese, meanwhile, has been impressive, especially with their second-half performance in a 3-2 comeback win against Parma, which saw them top the Serie A table for the first time since October 2011. Although they lost the top spot the following matchday, Udinese’s away form remains strong, having avoided defeat in their last five Serie A away games (W3, D2). However, their record at the Stadio Olimpico is poor, with only one win in their last 11 visits (W1), and they have conceded 3+ goals in seven of those games.

AS Roma’s struggles this season have been evident, and their home form is a significant concern, with only one win in their last five competitive games at the Stadio Olimpico. Udinese’s strong away form and recent impressive performances suggest they are well-positioned to capitalize on Roma's current difficulties. Despite their poor record at the Stadio Olimpico, Udinese's recent form and Roma’s inconsistency make the visitors the favorites for this encounter. Roma’s defensive issues and lack of wins are likely to continue, giving Udinese a good chance to secure a victory or at least a draw.
