Following their midweek victory against Rangers in the Europa League, Gian Piero Gasperini and Roma return to Serie A action by hosting 10th-place Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma began the season impressively, winning five of their first six matches. However, they have dropped two of their last four league games, suffering 1-0 defeats to Inter Milan and AC Milan. These losses halted their strong start and ended their early lead at the top of the table.
Despite this, the Giallorossi still maintain the best defense in Serie A and sit just one point behind league leaders Milan, who drew 2-2 with 17th-place Parma on Saturday.
With nearly three-quarters of the season left, the race at the top remains open. A win against Udinese today could see Roma return to first place.
