Udinese vs Roma prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 26, 2025
As part of Matchday 22 of the Italian Serie A, Udinese will face Roma. The game will take place in Udine on Sunday, January 26, with kickoff scheduled for 3:00 PM Central European Time. I suggest betting on the winner of this match.
Match Preview
Udinese had a brilliant start to the season but gradually lost momentum and slid to mid-table. This wasn’t unexpected, as the team lacks the individual skill level of Italy’s leading clubs.
The "Black and Whites" haven’t won a game this year but have only lost once. Recently, they held off Atalanta but suffered a heavy defeat against Como afterward. It’s worth noting that their current 10th place is a respectable result for Udinese.
Roma is slowly gaining momentum and closing in on a cluster of teams fighting for European competition spots. After defeating Lazio in the derby, the "Wolves" secured a draw against Bologna and managed to beat Genoa at home.
On Thursday, the Romans played another Europa League match, which ended in disappointment. Roma lost to AZ and must now beat Eintracht in the final group stage match to advance to the tournament's playoffs.
Match Facts
- Udinese hasn’t won at home since late October.
- Roma hasn’t won an away game in their last 18 matches.
- Udinese averages 0.6 goals per game at home, while Roma averages 1 goal per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Udinese:
Sava, Kristensen, Bijol, Kabasele, Ekkelenkamp, Modesto, Lovric, Paero, Kamara, Karlstrom, Thauvin, Sanchez. - Roma:
Svilar, N’Dicka, Mancini, Hummels, Saelemaekers, Angelino, Paredes, Kone, Pellegrini, Dybala, Dovbyk.
Head-to-Head
Roma has defeated Udinese in their last four meetings.
Prediction
The visitors are considered favorites, but their Europa League match on Thursday might impact their physical condition. On the other hand, Udinese is not in their best form, so my bet will be on Roma to succeed with a handicap of 0.
