Comments, predictions AS Roma vs Udinese: Bad luck for the away team

Roma, a team in crisis, will face Udinese, the surprise Serie A leaders, this Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma have just three points from four games and the board decided to sack legend Daniele De Rossi in midweek. Udinese, on the other hand, are in fine form with three straight wins and are flying high at the top of the table.

Latest AS Roma vs Udinese squad information

In his first match as Roma coach Ivan Juric will have almost a full squad, with only Alexis Saelemaekers a definite absentee and midfielder Enzo Le Fee still a doubt.

Polish winger Nicola Zalewski has been brought back into the squad, after failing to agree a move to Türkiye, while transfer deadline signings Mats Hummels and Mario Hermoso could make their first appearances.

Capable of supporting Artem Dovbyk in attack, Paulo Dybala has been involved in more Serie A goals than any other team (20) – eight more than any other opponent.

Meanwhile, with star Alexis Sanchez injured, Udinese's attack will be led by Lorenzo Lucca and Florian Thauvin.

The latter has helped his side pick up more points (six) than any other player in Serie A so far this term, while also making his best start to a season in terms of goalscoring involvement – ​​four from four games.

If Lautaro Giannetti overcomes a muscle injury, the Bianconeri could retain the same line-up as the game that took place in Parma on Monday evening.

Latest predicted lineup AS Roma vs Udinese

Roma:

Svilar; Mancini, Hermoso, Ndicka; Celik, Kone, Cristante, Angelino; Dybala, El Shaarawy; Dovbyk

Udinese:

Okoye; Kristensen, Bijol, Giannetti; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Payero, Kamara; Thauvin; Lucca

Latest football prediction AS Roma vs Udinese

In his final act as Roma coach, Daniele De Rossi was sent off late in last week's 1-1 draw at Genoa, having conceded an injury-time equaliser that left the capital club 16th in the Serie A table.

After taking over as manager in January, replacing Jose Mourinho, De Rossi was given a three-year contract extension in the summer, but just eight months after returning to his beloved club he was asked to leave by the Friedkin family.

It took no time to find a replacement, with former Torino coach Ivan Juric being appointed, and he has been tasked with turning things around amid promises of fan protests this weekend.

Not only have Roma started the Serie A season without a win - after two goalless draws and a home defeat to Empoli, along with a disappointing result in Genoa last week - but they have also won just one of their last nine league games stretching back to last season.

Only twice before have the Giallorossi gone their first five top-flight games without a win - and not in 40 years - so they will be hoping to build on precedent when they face in-form Udinese.

Ahead of their return to the Europa League next week, when Athletic Club will be their opening opponents, Roma take on a club they have beaten no fewer than 18 times in their last 22 meetings in the competition, keeping 11 clean sheets.

Udinese have 10 points - seven more than Roma - and they have equalled their best start to a Serie A season, the total they achieved at this stage 24 years ago.

A comeback win over Parma on Monday highlighted the spirit in Kosta Runjaic's side, as they trailed by two goals at half-time, before Lorenzo Lucca pulled one back and Florian Thauvin scored twice at the Stadio Tardini.

Currently top of Serie A for the first time since matchday eight of the 2011-12 season, the Friulani side had previously beaten Como and Lazio following an opening day draw with Bologna, and had progressed to the first round of the Coppa Italia with ease.

Compared to last season, when they regularly failed to turn one point into three, Udinese have been surprisingly efficient so far, with the best chance conversion rate (25%) when calculating shots from inside the opposition area.

Appointed in the summer, Runjaic is only the third manager in the club's history to remain unbeaten in their first four Serie A games, and he will be aiming to capitalise on the turmoil in the Italian capital. While time is not on his side, Ivan Juric is used to making teams difficult to beat, so Roma could be in for a first win of the season.

Udinese's impressive run will have to come to an end at some point, and the unlikely leaders will be overtaken in a tight game at the Olimpico.
