AS Roma vs Udinese Preview
Udinese are currently in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Monza last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
AS Roma, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Giallorossi slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Feyenoord in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
