Giallorossi can turn tables on Udinese
Roma are heavy favourites at 53/100 for their Serie A 2026-2027 away game at Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli on Saturday against an out-of-form Udinese.
Gian Piero Gasperini's side come into this with their form rolling after a solid 2-0 win over Genoa, but they have also played well in the 4-0 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava and were unfortunate not to take all 3 points away at Napoli in a 3-3 draw last weekend.
The Giallorossi are currently 3rd in the Serie A 2026/2027 table with 18 points from 8 games while the Bianconeri are 17th with only four points from seven matches. Roma will be looking for revenge of a 0-1 away defeat in Serie A 2025/2026 and it doesn't feel like Udinese can repeat that result this time around.
The hosts have lost their last two games and were also beaten in their two previous home Serie A 2026/2027 contests with a loss to Torino and a 0-3 defeat to Lecce.
The Bianconeri started the new season with some promise, but have since fallen into a losing cycle after a 1-1 friendly draw at Pogon Szczecin, followed by back-to-back league defeats to Torino and Lecce.
Ekkelenkamp has been key to Roma’s recent wins
Kosta Runjaic has built the team around a back three, wing-back width and compact football with a transition-first approach.
They are not the type of side to beat themselves with mistakes or lack of energy, but they have no players who can really create something special on their own in the final third.
Hassane Kamara has been their biggest threat in Serie A 2026/2027 so far with 2 goals from 5 appearances, while Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has scored 2 of their 4 goals in the last 5.
Roma's Donyell Malen has been the danger man with 6 goals from 5 Serie A 2026/2027 appearances so far, but it is Gasperini's pressing game that will really put Udinese under the pump in this clash of two back-three systems.
Roma are pressing high and rotating players man-on-man to force the opposition into errors while Malen and the other sharp attacking players burst through the gaps on the wings. It should be a tactical chess match, but the Giallorossi edge and away stats mean an away win is more likely than a draw.
However, because of Udinese's recent upset of Roma, we feel this will be closer than a walkover and Roma's away stats back the idea of taking 2.5 goals at 7/10 as the preferred bet.
