AS Roma will play against Udinese at the Stadio Friuli on Monday night, looking to continue their strong recent performance in this matchup.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has won the last six league encounters between these teams and aims for a seventh consecutive victory over Udinese.
Roma enters this match after a 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos in the Europa League midweek. Prior to that, they drew with AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico, marking their first league draw since April.
Koni De Winter scored for Milan just after the hour mark, but Lorenzo Pellegrini equalized from a penalty in the 74th minute due to a handball by Davide Bartesaghi. Despite the draw, Roma has achieved their highest points total at this stage of the season since 2020/21 and is currently in fifth place with 43 points.
AS Roma team news
Gasperini will be without Paulo Dybala, who is sidelined for about two weeks due to a knee injury. Dybala has an impressive record against Udinese, contributing 21 goals in 22 Serie A matches against them. Additionally, Manu Kone will also miss roughly three weeks, reducing midfield options.
Artem Dovbyk remains a long-term absence, while Evan Ferguson and Stephan El Shaarawy are doubts for the Udine trip.
On a positive note, Donyell Malen and Robino Vaz, who could not play in Europe, are available for selection in Serie A, providing valuable depth to the attack.
In defense, Mario Hermoso has returned to full fitness and training, making him available for the traveling squad, offering more experience in central defense.
