Udinese vs AS Roma Prediction

Udinese hosts AS Roma on 31 October 2026 at 20:00 in Serie A. Roma arrive as clear favorites after beating Cagliari 4:2 on 27 October, while Udinese drew 0:0 with Parma three days later. The visitors have not lost in their last 10 Serie A matches. Udinese, by contrast, have won just one of their last 10 home league games and failed to score in two straight defeats before the Parma draw.

Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini flagged recovery concerns after the Cagliari win, noting some players had not fully recovered and midfield fatigue was visible. Paulo Dibala is likely to miss the trip to Udine due to ongoing injury. Udinese will be without Idrisса Gueye, Vakoun Bayo, David Alaba, Alessandro Zanoli, and Umar Sole through injury. Nicolò Zanolo, named as a key player by Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić, has not yet reached full fitness.

Form and H2H

Roma have scored at least two goals in 9 of their last 10 Serie A matches. In their last 10 games across all competitions, Roma took more shots on target than their opponents. Over the same span in the league, Roma averaged more shots on target per game.

Udinese have conceded consistently. Opponents in Udinese's last 10 Serie A matches averaged 1 goal per game, and their xG data suggests Roma's attacking output should be reliable. Udinese scored fewer than 1 goal in 9 of their last 10 home league games and took fewer shots on target in all 10 of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Best bet

AS Roma over 1.5 goals is the pick. Roma have established a pattern of scoring multiple goals in Serie A, hitting at least two in 9 of their last 10 league matches. The 4:2 win over Cagliari on 27 October shows their attacking threat remains sharp despite fatigue concerns. Udinese's defensive record at home is weak, and the opposition Roma faced in Udinese's recent fixtures averaged 1 goal per game, indicating the hosts concede regularly. Even with Dibala sidelined and some players not fully recovered, Roma's attacking depth should produce at least two goals against a Udinese side that has struggled to keep clean sheets at home.
