AS Roma vs Udinese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-08 17:00.
[p]After coming up short in their attempt to summit Serie A, Roma look to get back to winning ways against a Udinese side they’ve enjoyed playing of late.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A missed penalty at the end of last weekend’s 1-0 defeat against fellow title hopefuls AC Milan not only saw Roma miss the chance to move top of Serie A, but Paulo Dybala also sustained an injury that will keep him out for a while whilst taking the penalty. Only one point keeps the Giallorossi off the Serie A summit pre-round, and after dispatching Rangers 2-0 in midweek UEFA Europa League action to secure a third win in four competitive outings, they certainly have momentum on their side as they resume their quest for a first Scudetto in over 20 years. A rotten home record threatens to prove their undoing in the title race though, as Roma have lost three of their last four home games (W1). [/p]
[p]Udinese became the first Serie A side to beat Atalanta this term, with their 1-0 victory last weekend moving them to within three points of the top six pre-round. Kosta Runjaić’s men had one more point at this stage last term but will be hoping to stay the course this time around having ultimately finished a whopping 21 points adrift of the top six last season! One defeat from their last five league matches (W2, D2) is certainly the kind of form which suggests they can be more serious European challengers this time around, but three games without a win on the road (D1, L2) show there is still room for improvement.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Roma have won five consecutive H2Hs, and few would rule out that record extending given that the Giallorossi have beaten Udinese 11 of the last 12 times they’ve hosted them (L1).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
