Udinese finally halted their alarming losing streak on Wednesday, playing out a goalless draw against Parma to end a sequence of six consecutive defeats.
However, that result offers little guarantee of an immediate turnaround, with another failure to win extending their winless run to eight matches.
Their home performances are particularly concerning, as they have suffered defeat in their last four matches on their own turf.
They will hope they can get their first home win of the season and get themselves away from the relegation battle.
Roma, by contrast, have enjoyed a far more encouraging start to the campaign, having remained among the league’s three unbeaten teams.
The capital club recovered from an early deficit to defeat Cagliari 4-2 on Tuesday, extending their unbeaten start to the Serie A season to nine matches, with six victories and three draws.
Nevertheless, defensive improvements will be necessary, as Roma have conceded five in their last two league games.
Their overall consistency remains impressive, having gone 16 league matches without defeat since early April, recording 12 wins and four draws.
Their away form is equally encouraging, with five victories and three draws in their last eight matches on the road across all competitions.
