Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Genoa, AS Roma will be aiming to record their first victory of the season when they welcome Udinese to their Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The Romans have yet to find their best form, but this match could be the turning point for Daniele De Rossi’s troops. Alexis Saelemaekers has joined the likes of Nicola Zalewski and Enzo Le Fee in the recovery room, with Mario Hermoso likely to step up.
A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Artem Dovbyk, who opened his goal-scoring account against the Rossoblu. Meanwhile, the Zebrette made a promising start to the season, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the Serie A. Given AS Roma slow opening, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the trip to the “Eternal City”. Returnee Alexis Sanchez should be the only absentee in the away team.

A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
