Roma vs Udinese prediction: Can visitors remain unbeaten?
Key Stats
- Udinese won three and drew one of their first four Serie A fixtures of the campaign.
- Roma are still winless after four matches of the new season.
- Three of Roma’s first four league games have featured under 2.5 goals.
- Florian Thauvin has scored four times in five competitive appearances for Udinese this term.
Correct score prediction: Roma 1-1 Udinese
Unbeaten Udinese have made a fine start to the season under new manager Kosta Runjaić and they are playing with enough confidence to upset the odds at Roma. The hosts have drawn three of their first four matches and another stalemate could be in the works here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Udinese a big price
- HOME: 4/6 (1.67) – 60%
- DRAW: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
- AWAY: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Roma have limped out of the blocks this season and their search for a first win goes on after the Giallorossi drew 1-1 at Genoa last time out. Daniele De Rossi was relieved of his duties during the week, though his formers side remain 4/6 favourites to win on Sunday.
Udinese came out on the right side of a five-goal thriller at Parma last weekend and promptly moved to the summit of the Serie A table. The visitors offer top value at 10/3 in the match result market again on Sunday. You can view more of our latest football tips on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Florian Thauvin
Like several of his teammates, Florian Thauvin has looked reborn under new Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić and the French forward will be eager to maintain his early-season goal-scoring surge on Sunday.
Red-hot Thauvin worth watching
Thauvin scored two goals at Parma in his last Serie A outing and the 31-year-old has bagged four goals in his last five appearances in league and cup overall for Udinese. The French attacker could be a key performer for Udinese again on Sunday.
