Preview
Roma arrive in Udine third in Serie A and still unbeaten after nine games, with six wins and three draws. They came from 2-2 to beat Cagliari 4-2 on Tuesday, but it was their third game in eight days and Gasperini admitted the legs were heavy. Dybala will probably sit this one out too, and Svilar, Kone and Pellegrini are also missing. Udinese are 17th with five points. Wednesday's 0-0 at Parma ended a run of six straight league defeats, yet coach Runjaic is still under pressure. They score just 0.4 goals per home game and their back line is thin, with Alaba and Solet both missing at Parma. The head-to-head leans Roma's way: four wins in the last five meetings, although Udinese won the most recent one 1-0 in February. Roma's tired legs and missing creators keep the price tight, but the gap in quality is clear. We rate the away win at 59%.
Roma are the stronger, unbeaten side against a struggling Udinese team that rarely scores at home. Fatigue and absences cut into the edge, but Roma to win is our pick at 59%.
