Roma can run riot against the Zebrette
Roma have been rock-solid away from home in Serie A 2026/2027, avoiding defeat in all 4 matches (W2, D2) and averaging 2.25 goals per game for and only 0.75 against. After a 2-0 win at Genoa in their most recent Serie A 2026/2027 game, Gian Piero Gasperini's side thumped Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in the Champions League and drew 3-3 away at Napoli in a rip-roaring encounter.
This will be no easy game for the Giallorossi, but they have much more quality in their squad than both of those sides and won't have to travel quite as far to play the match. Udinese are in poor form in Serie A 2026/2027 and look unlikely to trouble Roma too much here.
Home comforts are few and far between for Zebrette
Udinese's season is already starting to look like a relegation battle after collecting four points from seven Serie A 2026/2027 games, and they are coming into this game off the back of two consecutive defeats. Their last two home matches have also ended in defeat and while Kosta Runjaic has built a team around a back three, wing-backs and compact, transition-first football, it hasn't been good enough.
Hassane Kamara is their main attacking threat in the league with two goals in five appearances in Serie A 2026/2027, while Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has provided two of Udinese's four goals in their last five matches. Roma have Donyell Malen up top, who has six goals in five Serie A 2026/2027 appearances and the kind of final third edge that could make all the difference in an away win on Saturday.
Giallorossi can get payback after home defeat
Gasperini's Roma have been pressing high with aggressive man-oriented rotations and attacking through the half-spaces with pace, which will surely put Udinese under the pump. Udinese beat Roma 1-0 at home in Serie A 2025/2026, but that won't stop the visitors from taking all three points this weekend.
Backing Roma to win at 1.53 is the main selection for this game at Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli, but given Udinese did beat the Giallorossi last season, this won't be a stroll in the park. A Roma win and over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks more likely as Gasperini's men can get the goals while Udinese should get opportunities at the other end.
