Despite the poor results, the betting sites at the same form are predicting that Roma will finally get a much-needed first win against Udinese.

Roma will return to the Stadio Olimpico in the capital where they played only 1 of their last 4 Serie A games, but where they surprisingly lost against Empoli. The final score was 1-2 and there were plenty of chances on goal for both sides. Roma had an xG of 2.98 in their home opener but of the 7 shots they had on target only 1 was a goal. Empoli won as underdogs against Roma which resulted in a +540 odds in favour of the visitors.

The final shot against Genoa was especially frustrating for Roma as they were leading 1-0 for over an hour of play, but De Winter would eventually equalise. That game would be De Rossi's last as Roma manager, having taken over in January. His replacement will be Juric, the former Torino coach who will want a win in his debut to silence the media and a fan base in crisis.

Udinese are first in Serie A, in a surprisingly good start, they drew 1-1 against Bologna in their debut and then won 3 consecutive games, all, however, by a difference of only one goal.
