Udinese vs Roma Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |

Match Date | Saturday 31 October 2026 |
Match Time | 17:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Udine, Bluenergy Stadium |
Roma head to the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday as clear favourites for Udinese vs Roma, and one glance at the Serie A table tells you why.
Udinese sit 17th and only ended a six-game losing streak with a goalless draw against Parma on Wednesday. Stopping the rot is one thing, finding a cutting edge is another.
Roma arrive on a 16-game unbeaten run in Serie A, and the Udinese vs Roma betting odds back that up, with the visitors priced at 8/13 with AK Bets.
The head-to-head leans the same way. It reads five Roma wins against one for Udinese, and not a single draw between them.
Udinese vs Roma Form
Udinese have failed to win their last seven Serie A matches and have not scored in their last three, which tells you exactly where the problem lies. Finishing is flagged as a weakness, and Keinan Davis cuts a lonely figure up top. The point at Parma was built on defending, not attacking, and that is a thin platform against this opponent.
Across their most recent 14 Serie A outings, Roma have scored at least twice in 13. They came from behind to beat Cagliari 4-2 on Tuesday, keeping their unbeaten start to the league campaign intact. Donyell Malen leads the line, with Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora feeding him, and this is a side that finishes what it creates.

Udinese vs Roma Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Udinese 1-2 Roma. That is our Udinese vs Roma prediction, and it rests on a Roma attack that has finishing and wing play flagged as major strengths. Roma carry a 62% win probability, and while Zaniolo and Ekkelenkamp give the hosts enough to grab a goal, the visitors have far more quality in the final third.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game, with Roma's attack the main driver. This is the pick of the Udinese vs Roma best bets, with the projection sitting at 3.38 total goals. Roma have won and seen 3+ goals scored in five of the last seven Serie A meetings with Udinese, so goals tend to follow them here.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Roma should score, and Udinese have enough in attack to get one back at home. Both teams scoring carries a 61.08% probability. Udinese like to play with width and cross often, and Roma's defending against through balls is a known weak spot, so the hosts have routes to a goal of their own.
Udinese vs Roma Bet Builder
Our Udinese vs Roma bet builder tips are built around Donyell Malen and the Roma attack, pairing two Malen shooting legs with a Roma win and the visitors scoring twice or more.
Donyell Malen Over 2.5 (Player Shots): Malen has attempted 3+ shots in 7 of his last 8 Serie A appearances. He shoots on sight, and Udinese's leaky flanks should give him room.
Donyell Malen Over 0.5 (Player Shots On Target): Malen has recorded 1+ shots on target in 7 of his last 8 Serie A appearances. Volume plus accuracy makes this a sensible partner leg.
Roma (Win Market): Udinese have failed to win their last seven Serie A matches, while Roma are unbeaten in their last 16 in the league. The gap in quality is obvious.
Over 1.5 (Total Away Goals, Roma): Two or more Roma goals have arrived in 13 of their most recent 14 Serie A fixtures, and nothing in Udinese's recent outings suggests they can stop that.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/10 and is as short as 10/11 elsewhere.

Udinese vs Roma Talking Points
Nicolò Zaniolo facing his former club adds needle, and he is one of the few Udinese attackers capable of hurting Roma, while Maduka Okoye arrives buoyed by the penalty save that earned the point at Parma. For Roma, the bigger question is rotation, with a Champions League date against Manchester United on the horizon and squad rotation very much part of their approach. Even so, Roma have scored 2+ goals in 6 out of 7 matches vs Udinese in Serie A, and Malen running at a defence that struggles down the wings looks the key battle.
