Roma Hosts Udinese in Key Serie A Clash This Weekend

Rome, Italy — AS Roma will host Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM local time. The match is crucial for both teams as they battle for positions in the Serie A standings.

Roma recently returned from a win against Rangers in the Europa League, while Udinese is coming off a significant victory against Atalanta. Roma currently sits just behind league leaders AC Milan, having secured seven wins from their first ten matches under coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Despite their strong start, Roma faced setbacks in their last Serie A matches, including a recent 1-0 loss to AC Milan. This defeat has offered a stark reminder that every game counts in the competitive league.

Paulo Dybala’s missed penalty during the Milan match adds to Roma’s attacking concerns, as they prepare for Udinese. With key players like Evan Ferguson and Dybala sidelined, the team is expected to lean on players such as Artem Dovbyk, who has fond memories from last season when he scored twice against Udinese.

On the other side, Udinese’s coach Kosta Runjaic aims to capitalize on their current form, which has seen them secure favorable results against tougher opponents. The Bianconeri have struggled historically at the Olimpico, having lost 14 out of their last 16 encounters at the venue.

Nicolò Zaniolo, who previously played for Roma, is on a hot streak, having scored in recent matches. His performance will be critical as he seeks to guide Udinese to victory against his former team.

The match will be available on Sky Sports Football, Sky Sports, and the streaming service Dazn, starting with pre-match coverage at 5 PM.
