AS Roma – Udinese

Roma stride into the clash at the Stadio Olimpico perched atop the table with 12 points from four flawless victories, their attack already boasting a 12‑1 goal tally. Udinese, sitting 13th with four points after a win, a draw and a loss, arrive with a balanced 5‑5 record and will be desperate to close the gap to safety. The Romans’ unbeaten run and superior goal difference set a clear benchmark, yet Udinese’s recent resilience suggests they could spring a surprise. A win for Roma would widen the gap at the summit, while a point for Udinese could signal a shift in the mid‑table scramble.
