Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with Daniele De Rossi's AS Roma side in an important clash at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday.
Udinese vs AS Roma Preview
AS Roma are in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The Giallorossi edged AC Milan to a narrow 1-0 victory in the Europa League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table and have struggled so far this season. The home side slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Inter Milan last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
