English week in the Italian Serie A. The fifth matchday will be played from Tuesday to Thursday and we have picked out a traditional duel with the match between AS Roma and Udinese Calcio. The teams will meet for the 95th time on Thursday. The Romans in particular have made a great start to the new season, but suffered their first setback last weekend

But the visitors were also hit for the first time on Monday evening and the Bianconeri left the pitch as losers against Napoli. SSC are currently enthroned at the top of the table, followed by the teams from Milan. Our readers can find out which club has the best chances of winning the championship title in Italy in the eyes of the bookmakers on the betting basis page.

The bookmakers see the home side as clear favourites on Thursday. In the AS Roma vs. Udinese match, all predictions go in the direction of a success for the Wolves, who want to stay in the top group with a win. Kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico is at 20:45 and the clash rounds off the fifth matchday.

Italy AS Roma – Statistics & current form

After a disappointing last season, in which Roma only finished in seventh place, things should now be looking up again. The special One” Jose Mourinho was signed as the new coach to guarantee success. He is supposed to get the Giallorossi back on the road to success, since it has been thirteen years since they last won the title. The Coppa was won in 2008.

After four matchdays, the Wolves have nine points. The Yellow-Red currently occupy fourth place in the table, which would mean a place in the Champions League at the end of the season. The gap to the league leaders from Napoli is currently three points, but at this early stage of the league that is not very meaningful.

Roma’s strong start to the new season

The Mourinho eleven has started the season with six competitive wins In the Europa Conference League, there were first two victories over Trabzonspor, which meant entry into the group stage. The first group match was also clearly decided in favour of the hosts against ZSKA Sofia with 5:1.

In the league, they had the best possible points after three match days. Victories were recorded against Florence (3:1), Salernitana (4:0) and Sassuolo (2:1). But last Sunday they suffered their first setback. They lost 3-2 at Hellas Verona, who had no points up to that point. The aim now is to make up for this slip-up against the Zebras. The bookmakers are quite optimistic and offer odds of 1.55 at the top for bets on the hosts in the match AS Roma vs Udinese.

Rome with convincing offence

With eleven goals scored, the Romans provide the second best offence in the league. The Giallorossi’s top scorers are Jorden Veretout and Pellegrini, who netted three times. However, keeper Patricio has also had to make five saves. In seven competitive games, he has only kept his box clean twice.

Predicted line-up of AS Roma:
Patricio – Calafiori, Ibanez, Mancini, Karsdorp – Veretout, Cristante – Mkhitaryan, Pellegrini, Zaniolo – Abraham

Italy Udinese – Statistics & current form

Udinese have been playing continuously in the Italian Serie A since 1996 and have thus long since become a fixture. However, the big successes have so far failed to materialise. Neither a league title nor the Coppa has been won so far. In the last few years, the Zebrette have always been in the bottom half of the table and this year, too, the main focus will be on collecting the necessary points as quickly as possible in order to stay in the league.

Udinese currently in a safe midfield position

The Friulians will be happy with their start to the new season. They have collected seven points from their first four games. This means that the little zebras are currently in eighth place in the table and the lead over the first relegation place is already five points. The next few weeks will show whether they can dare to look towards the upper regions of the table this year.

Now it’s off to the home-strong Wolves. The white and black team is the outsider in this match. The best bookmakers are offering odds of 6.25 on the visitors in the match between AS Roma and Udinese. The Zebrette have lost seven of their last eight appearances in Rome

Napoli show Calcio the limits

Last Monday, head coach Luca Gotti’s side suffered their first defeat of the season. They were beaten 4-0 by Napoli in their own stadium. Before that, the white and black team reached the next round in the Coppa and also defeated their opponents from Venice (3:0) and Spezia Calcio (1:0) in the league. The duel with the old lady Juve ended in a 2-2 draw.

After a good start in the last few games, the offensive was increasingly slack. Only one goal was scored in the last two games In the clash with Napoli, the defensive limits were also shown, so that it is not to be expected that the guests will stay in the upper half of the table.

Predicted line-up of Udinese:
Silvestri – Becao, Nuytinck, Samir – Molina, Arslan, Walace, Pereyra, Larsen – Pussetto, Deulofeu

AS Roma – Udinese Direct comparison / H2H record

The two sides have met 94 times in Serie A and the hosts are well ahead in the overall record. The Giallorossi have a total of 49 victories on their side, while the Zebras have been victorious 22 times. In the last seventeen encounters, the visitors have only managed to win twice against the Wolves.

Last season, all points went to the Italian capital. After the 1:0 in Udine, the Romans were also victorious in the return match with 3:0. According to the bookmakers, the white and black team will not win on Thursday either. In the match between AS Roma and Udinese, all predictions go in the direction of a win for the home side.

Italy AS Roma – Udinese Italy Tip

Two teams that lost out on the last matchday meet at the end of matchday five. The distribution of roles seems clear so far. The visitors are the clear underdogs in the match between AS Roma and Udinese, with odds of 6.25. The Bianconeri will be the underdogs. Monday’s match against Napoli showed that the Bianconeri cannot keep up with the “greats” of Italian football.

The hosts had to accept their first defeat last weekend, but in terms of quality, we see the Giallorossi squad in a much better position With Pellegrini, Veretout, Mkhitaryan and Abraham, there are fine footballers in Jose Mourinho’s eleven

Rome will not be rattled by the defeat in Verona after six competitive match wins to start with. We therefore recommend betting on a win for the home side in the AS Roma v Udinese match at odds of 1.55 and play this one boldly with seven units.

We doubt whether the visitors’ offensive will be able to put the Romans’ defence under pressure. In the AS Roma vs Udinese match, betting odds of 2.15 on a duel in which neither team scores is a good alternative.
