Udinese

Right because of the that fact everyone in the home team is very much aware that ahead of them is very difficult task, especially as Roma has again started winning and on top of everything it is in race for the Champions League. On the other hand, by the end of season Udinese will probably focus on making its team more efficient and smooth running given that at the moment it lags behind positions that lead to Europe for even eight points, while at the same time it has significant 16-point advantage over teams that are positioned in the drop zone.

Regarding their current shape, it can be said that is fairly unstable. Udinese won two and drew two matches played at home, while out of last three away matches it lost two, to Lazio and Torino, and won one, against Genoa. Now, their guest is team that doesn’t evoke nice memories, while in the meantime the list of injured player only grew longer and at the moment on it are names of defenders Angella and Andan, and the first scorer of the team, Lasagna.

We need to add that in four days from now Roma will pay the 1st leg of the Champions League round of 16 with Ukrainian Shakhtar, while in the meantime situation with absences has significantly improved and right now just two players are out of action due to injuries, defender Karsdorp and midfielder Goanlons.
