Roma Looks for a Win at Udinese
Roma will visit Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium in Serie A and want to close the gap with the teams at the top. The hosts, meanwhile, will take to the pitch to stop their poor run and protect their coach's position.
Roma are travelling to Udine to face Udinese in Serie A. The match will be played at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine at 17:00 GMT (18:00 CET). The Giallorossi need a win to close the gap with league leaders Inter and Lazio. After drawing three of their last four league games, they beat Cagliari 4-2 in a tough contest.
Roma have made some changes to their squad. Rodrigo Mora and Matias Soulé start in the starting eleven behind Donyell Malen. Paulo Dybala, Mile Svilar, Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini are still injured. Gianluca Mancini, meanwhile, is being rested ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Manchester United. Evan Ndicka, Marten de Roon and Nahuel Molina did not get a chance to rest in preparation for the Old Trafford game.
Udinese's situation is not much better. The side ended their six-game losing streak with a goalless draw away at Parma on Wednesday. In that match, Maduka Okoye saved Adrian Bernabé's penalty, earning his team a point. Head coach Kosta Runjaic's position is hanging by a thread. Oumar Solet, David Alaba, Alessandro Zanoli, Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo are on the injury list.
One name stands out: Nicolò Zaniolo. The player, who left Roma under difficult circumstances, will face his former club in this match. He will feature in attack alongside Ekkelenkamp and Keinan Davis. The home side hope these players can help them come out of this difficult period.
