AS Roma vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Out of the Top 4 in Serie A since 2018, Roma hopes to end its drought under the leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini this season. The start of the championship encourages optimism since the Louve club now occupies 4th place in the ranking with a small point behind 1st place. It should still be noted that the quality of play does not dazzle observers at the moment. Beaten at home by Inter after the October international break 0-1, the Giallorossi then dominated Sassuolo 0-1 and Parma 2-1. Last weekend, they fell back in the lair of AC Milan despite a first performance of good quality 1-0.

9th in Serie A with 3 points behind the last European seat, Udinese made a very honorable start to the championship. After going four games without a win, 2 draws and 2 defeats, the Friulians reacted by dominating poorly ranked Lecce 3-2 before losing in the lair of Juventus 3-1. Last weekend, however, they created a nice surprise. In front of their fans, Udinese managed to win against Atalanta 1-0. 

Looking at the head-to-head record, Roma have generally had the upper hand in recent seasons, winning most of their encounters against Udinese both home and away. The Giallorossi’s ability to grind out results in tight matches has often been the difference, while Udinese have struggled to consistently break down Roma’s defensive structure. In the last year, Roma defeated Udinese 3-0 at home and 2-1 away, underlining their dominance in this fixture. However, Udinese’s recent attacking improvements, with players like Buksa and Karlström stepping up, suggest they could pose more of a threat this time. Both sides are coming into this game with something to prove: Roma aiming to bounce back from their Milan defeat, and Udinese eager to show they can compete with the league’s stronger sides.

Given the context of recent form, injuries, and tactical setups, this match has all the makings of a tight, low-scoring affair. Roma’s defensive discipline, combined with Udinese’s occasional struggles to create clear chances away from home, points toward a cautious battle. Gasperini’s side will likely rely on moments of individual brilliance from Dybala or Pellegrini, while Udinese may look to exploit set pieces or counterattacks. Ultimately, the balance tilts slightly in Roma’s favor due to their home advantage and superior record in this fixture. The most realistic outcome appears to be a narrow win for the Giallorossi, and the prediction here is a 1-0 correct score in favor of AS Roma.
