AS Roma
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 3-1
Udinese
Wednesday’s football game between Roma and Udinese will bring down the curtain on day 5 of the new Serie a campaign. Following three consecutive wins, the Romans suffered a 3-2 loss to Verona in the “City of Love” at the weekend. The Giallorossi aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Udinese. Leonardo Spinazzola should be the only absentee in the home team.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is widely expected to return to the starting XI. The Zebrette, on the other hand, suffered four defeats in the previous five meetings with Roma in the Serie A. Since Udinese are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on Jose Mourinho’s troops this time out. Talented defender Iyenoma Udogie remains on the sidelines with injury for the visiting team.
