4-2W

Form of both teams

Roma sit third with 21 points and remain unbeaten in the league this season. Gasperini's side beat Cagliari 4-2 on 27 October and drew 3-3 at Napoli earlier in the week. Their attack has been the main weapon, with at least two goals in each of their last three Serie A matches.

Udinese are 17th, on four or five points depending on the source. They lost 0-2 at home to AC Milan, have failed to score in their last three league games and have not won in seven Serie A matches. Their home record is poor, with several consecutive defeats at the Bluenergy Stadium.

Head-to-head

History strongly favours Roma. In the last 32 meetings between the clubs, Roma have won 24, Udinese six, with two draws. Udinese's most recent win was a 1-0 home victory in February 2026, and Roma had won four of the previous five league meetings.

There is one detail worth noting: Udinese have scored in each of their last five home matches against Roma. Goals have not been absent from this fixture, even with the hosts in crisis.

Team news

Udinese are missing David Alaba (calf), Oumar Solet, Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo. Alessandro Zanoli and Nicolò Bertola are doubtful. Nicolò Zaniolo, a former Roma player, is back from injury and is the hosts' main hope in attack, while Jurgen Ekkelenkamp leads their scoring with three goals.

For Roma, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Manu Koné are out with muscle problems and Mile Svilar is also absent. Paulo Dybala is listed as unavailable by some sources and doubtful by others. Donyell Malen is the top scorer with seven goals in eight league appearances.

What to expect and the odds

The market has Roma as favourites, with an implied probability of around 64%. One tipster site quoted Roma to win at 1.57, so the full-time price is short and offers little value.

Our pick is Roma to win at least one half @ 1.28. It makes sense because Roma only need to win one of the two halves for the bet to land. If the match starts cautiously or the first half ends level, the bet stays alive, and Roma's attacking quality against a leaky Udinese defence points to a stronger second half.

Our prediction

Our pick is Roma to win at least one half @ 1.28. The visitors have better quality, better recent form and a strong history in this fixture, while Udinese struggle to score and defend at home.
