AS Roma vs Udinese Prediction and Betting Tips | September 22nd 2024
As Roma and Udinese return to action in Serie A when they go head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Both sides have had a contrasting start to the season, with Kosta Runjaic’s men looking to pick up a fourth victory on the bounce and open up a four-point lead at the top of the table.
AS Roma were denied their first win of the new Serie A campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a resillient Genoa side at the Estadio Luigi Ferraris last Sunday.
I Giallorossi have failed to win their four league games — claiming just three points from a possible 12 — a run which has seen Daniele De Rossi relieved of his role as head coach.
With Croatian tactician Ivan Jurić now at the helm of affairs, Roma will head into the weekend looking to secure their first win of the campaign and get their season up and running.
Udinese, on the other hand, turned in a fine show of fighting spirit last time out when they fought back from two goals down to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory over Parma.
French forward Florian Thauvin grabbed the headlines at the Ennio Tardini Stadium as he netted two second-half goals to inspire Runjaic’s men to an impressive comeback win.
Udinese have picked up three wins and one draw from their opening four games to collect 10 points and sit top of the Serie A table with a one-point lead over second-placed Napoli.

Udinese have flown out of the blocks this season and will be backing themselves against an out-of-sorts Roma side who are yet to taste victory so far.
