Udinese vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday, the 24th of November, Udinese and AS Roma will open the 13th round of the Italian Serie A at the Dacia Arena at 14:00. Udinese Calcio is ranked 17th and tied with the table-18. They are in the immediate relegation battle. After Udinese finished 14th last year, no progress can be seen. The wolf currently ranks sixth. The lead over eleventh place is only two points. In order to reach a direct Champions League place, the Romans have to make up three points.
Udinese:
According to the table space also the balance of the last games looks. Six of the last seven Serie A matches have lost the Bianconeri. Only a single point against Genoa could be won (2: 2). The episode is clear. After twelve matchdays Udinese is on the 17th place in the table. Should Empoli (18th) and Frosinone (19th) win or score this weekend, Udinese would even be second to last in front of Chievo Verona. Therefore, it is important to forget the last games and to restart now after the international break with fresh forces.
A look at the goal balance reveals what the players from Udine particularly lack. They have just scored eleven goals so far. This is the second worst value of the Serie A. 18 goals in twelve games are not exactly a record, yet Udinese is with this defense the number one of the seven last-placed teams. Udinese can not hope for a home match effect in the match against AS Roma. In six games only four points were scored, even one less than in the distance.
Davide Nicola has to give up Darwin Machis, Lukasz Teodorczyk, Antonin Barak, Svante Ingelsson and Bram Nuytinck. On board is Rodrigo de Paul. He alone scored five goals so far and put four more on. The Argentinian with the number 10 on his back has thus been involved in almost all goals of his club.
AS Roma:
Roma is currently in the dangerous no-man’s-land of the league. A win and the Champions League beckons, a defeat and the fall into the dreariness of mediocrity would be the result. However, judging by the shape, “La Lupa” does not have to worry. Most recently, three out of five games were won and none were lost. Even against strong Neapolitans an away point could be fetched (1: 1). What the Romans might be a little worried, however, is the outward weakness. In that table they are listed in tenth place. After six encounters abroad, the meager record is 6: 6 goals with a mere point score of just eight points.
Gladbach’s Thorgan Hazard would certainly be an asset to this area. Recently, the number of published reports has increased, reporting a high level of interest from the Roma.
In return, Real Madrid is said to have expressed interest in Edin Dzeko. He only scored twice in Serie A so far. With a correspondingly high transfer, this would be worth a thought.
Eusebio Di Francesco reminded again and again that the own game continuity missing, to get the connection to the top or at least not to be demolished. In his eyes, good performances alternate too often with mediocre ones. Against Udinese the next attempt should be started to expand the winning streak. However, Eusebio di Francesco has to do without Daniele de Rossi, Javier Pastore, Luca Pellegrini and Kostas Manolas.
