Udinese - Roma predictions

The 3.56 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

Roma are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

The hosts will have a lot to regret when it comes to their previous Serie A match. Heavily undervalued to record a win (8.00), Udinese were well on the way to pulling a huge upset. However, their first-half lead melted pretty quickly and they even ended up losing Inter.

In the previous round, a goal in the first half against Lazio transitioned into a 1:0 home win for The Giallorossi. This was a relatively predictable outcome, considering the 2.17 odds on a home win.

The Giallorossi netted 6 goals in the last three away games, implying a very strong attack-minded performance even as visitors.

Udinese have just 2 points between them and the relegation zone. We’re well into the season by now, but there’s still time for the standings to change. At this point, Udinese’s only goal is to stay ahead of the lower-placed teams, which will be a challenge by itself.

A lot of teams would be happy with Roma current position on the table. With the end of the season in sight, they are heading for the Europa League if they maintain the 5th spot on the table. Still, plenty of time to move further up.

The Giallorossi decisively won their previous engagement with Udinese. They secured a multiple-goal difference in an earlier round of the Serie A, and most bookies are expecting a repeat of that success.

Udinese’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Gerard Deulofeu, Sandi Lovrić, Brenner, Keinan Davis have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.45 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
