ROMA v UDINESE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match that brings together a home team in the top five and an away team that are in the bottom half of the table. Roma are six places and two points points above their opponents at the weekend. Despite their position in the league ten sides have earned more points at home this season to date. Udinese have yet to win away from home during the current campaign and only the teams below them in a league have won fewer points on the road. Matches involving these sides have produced 50 goals at an average of more than three goals per game. However, the average is significantly lower when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Roma should make home advantage pay and enjoy the majority of the possession and create enough chances to win this match. They have had more than half of the possession in each of their four home matches this season to date and they are expected to maintain the average against Udinese. In beating Genoa away from home in their last match Roma had a 66% share of the ball. Francesco Totti is still a key player in midfield and he scored against Genoa. Udinese beat Pescara at home in their last match despite keeping the ball for 46% of the time which suggests they use the ball effectively when it is within their control

ROMA - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Roma have only won one of four home matches played this season and they actually have a better return of points away from their own stadium. Three wins on the road gives them the third best away record in the league with only Juventus and Inter Milan earning more points on the their travels. Roma have scored seven goals in four home matches but that average may dip after the game against Udinese. That side are yet to win an away match this season but are conceding relatively few goals as visitors. Roma are thus expected to win a low scoring game.

Pinnacle Sports quote Roma at 1.59.

ROMA - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Udinese should be backed with a goal head start as this becomes a winning bet if they avoid defeat. A loss to Roma would not spoil the bet as a one goal margin of defeat would result in stakes being returned. Udinese are possibly not good enough to record a first away win of the season but Roma’s home record leads to some caution and a consolation winning bet if Roma fail to win.

ROMA - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

All the relevant statistics point to a low scoring game. Neither side are particularly competent in turning attacking play into goals and Udinese have an average scoring record away from home. Roma’s four goal haul against Genoa has distorted the figures and a winning margin of one goal against Udinese could lead to an overall tally of less then three successful strikes.

Take the 2.75 with William Hill for under 2.5 goals.
