Roma lost out to Feyenoord at De Kuip courtesy of Mats Wieffer’s lone goal early in the second half. Beaten by the side they defeated to win last year’s Europa Conference League final, the Wolves will have an opportunity to redeem themselves and make it into the final four when they reconvene with the Dutch outfit next week. Nevertheless, when it comes to the Serie A, the Little Cubs have been in good form, having won their last two matches. Last Weekend, Jose Mourinho’s side recorded their 16th top flight victory of the season away to Torino, thanks to Paulo Dybala’s lone goal from the penalty spot. Meanwhile, Roma have won nine of their 14 league-games at home this season.
Udinese, on the other hand, have the eighth-best away-record in the Serie A this season, having taken 19 points from a possible 45 on the road. The Friulians shared the spoils against Monza last time out, thanks to Sandi Lovric’s 18th-minute opener and Betos’ dramatic winner two minutes into the injury time. The Black and Whites have recorded nine top flight victories this term and their latest success came against the reigning champions AC Milan (3-1) just before the international break last month. Roberto Pereyra, Beto and Kingsley Ehizibue netted for Udinese at Friuli to take all three points against Milan. Meanwhile, the Little Zebras thrashed Roma 4-0 in the reverse fixture September last year courtesy of goals from Destiny Udogie, Lazar Samardzic, Pereyra and Lovric.
Roma probable starting lineup: Patricio, Mancini, Smalling, Llorente, Zalewski, Wijnaldum, Matic, Spinazzola, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy, Belotti
Udinese probable starting lineup: Silvestri, Becao, Bijol, Perez, Ehizibue, Lovric, Walace, Pereyra, Udogie, Success, Beto
