Football : Italy Serie A
Venue: Stadio Friuli
Saturday 9th March 2013 – Kickoff time 20:45
Match Preview :
Udinese welcome an in-form Roma team hoping to complete the double over them having already beaten them 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico the last time they met.
Udinese have a poor away form and their win against Pescara was only their third away win of the season so they will be glad to return home to the Stadio Friuli where they have only lost once this season. They have managed 7 wins and 5 draws at home this season.
Even though they managed a win away from home which was the first time since December, but it has to be said that it came against Pescara, a team stuck to the bottom of the table. Francesco Guidolin was optimistic saying that if they can take each match at a time then they have a chance of finishing in the top five of Serie A.
Last weekend’s result was the first time that the Coach had managed to go two games without suffering a defeat since the start of the year, and he will be banking on their home form to complete the double over AS Roma.
AS Roma meanwhile are finally getting the results and have managed three wins in a row. Not many gave them any hopes of beating leaders Juventus, and since then they have produced two hard fought wins taking out Atalanta and then Genoa.
Veteran forward Francesco Totti has been pivotal in those wins and despite a career hampered by injury, he is still going strong. But there has been talk at the club that , Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has been deemed as surplus reqirements and could leave the club come the summer.
