Udinese will hope to move away from the relegation zone but face an upbeat Roma at home this weekend. The Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday will play host to the Serie A matchday 32 fixture. As of this round, the hosts are 15th with 28 points, while the visitors are fifth with 55 points. Udinese have a two-point buffer with the bottom-three, and an adverse result here could drag them into the red zone. They fought hard against leaders Inter Milan in their last match, but eventually lost 2-1. That made it just a single point across three matches, hurting their chances of moving away from the relegation zone. Playing at home hasn’t quite worked wonders either, as the Udinese have lost their last two league matches here. Yet, they defeated Roma 4-0 at this venue in the 2022–23 campaign, and we will hope those memories are still fresh.

Roma travel here after a 1-0 win over AC Milan in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinal. That result extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to four and gave them confidence ahead of some key fixtures. After this trip, Roma will be at home for the second leg of the quarterfinal and could be forgiven for giving that game priority. That said, the visitors are three points behind the top four and still have a chance to finish in the Champions League qualification places. Achieving that will require them to improve on their recent form, having won just one of their last four road trips in all competitions. Even in the league, they have drawn their last two away league matches and will hope they don’t trip here.
