Roma have won 4 of their last 5 matches at home, but they have lost 4 of
their last 5 away games. Luis Enrique has to rely on his team's home
performances to nick a Europa League spot, so he must not let the three
points slip away this time.
Udinese came back to victory after a 5-match streak of draws and losses.
Lazio look more determined to get the Champions League place, but
Guidolin is going to fight until the end of the season.
Two completely different tactical projects will meet in an interesting
game, which is also likely to be entertaining. Roma will try to keep
ball possession and build some goal scoring chances, while Udinese's
dynamic midfield is going to disturb their play-making and feed Di
Natale with quick counter-attacks. Borini was the leader of the attack
in Roma's finest moment of the season, and unless Luis Enrique finds a
replacement, Udinese may come and get some points in Rome.
Roma 1 - 0 Udinese
