✅  Udinese lost the Serie A Week 22 match on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.  AS Roma secures an away victory, marking their first win since last April in Udine, bringing their total to 30 points. Meanwhile, Udinese remains at 26 points. In a thrilling match, Roma staged a comeback after the home team initially took the lead against Lucca. However, two penalties in the second half, converted by Pellegrini and Dovbyk, turned the tide in Roma’s favor.

Udinese experienced a setback in their recent match, losing 4-1 to Como after a string of positive results. Meanwhile, Roma faced a tough defeat against AZ Alkmaar, making their Europa League journey more challenging. However, in the league, they have been on a solid run, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with four victories and two draws.

⚪️⚫️ Udinese opened the scoring in the 38th minute when Lorenzo Lucca found the back of the net with a powerful right-footed shot into the top right corner. Sandi Lovric provided the assist. From a free kick taken from the three-quarter line, Lovric delivered a well-placed ball into the box, allowing Lucca to skillfully control it before unleashing a fierce shot just beneath the crossbar.

Roma leveled the score in the 50th minute, making it 1-1. Lorenzo Pellegrini stepped up to take the penalty, striking it with his right foot straight down the middle. The penalty was awarded after Christian Kabasele committed a handball in the box.

What a thrilling comeback! Roma surged ahead in the 64th minute when Artem Dovbyk skillfully converted a penalty, sending a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The penalty was awarded after Razvan Sava fouled Stephan El Shaarawy inside the box.

Stats before the game

Udinese has faced Roma 101 times in Serie A, suffering 54 losses (with 23 wins and 24 draws). Their only greater number of defeats has come against Juventus, where they’ve lost 69 times, while they also share 54 losses with Inter.  Roma has been quite dominant lately, winning seven out of their last nine encounters with Udinese in Serie A, with one draw and one loss.

The Friulians’ only victory in this stretch was a significant 4-0 win at home on September 4, 2022. Additionally, Roma has been strong on the road.  They are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 away games against Udinese (with 8 wins and 2 draws), bouncing back after losing three of the previous four. Following their recent defeat to Como, Udinese risks losing two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time since last October-November, when they lost three in a row.

Roma recently secured a victory in their latest league match against Genoa, marking their only second win in a row during the 2024/25 Serie A season, which they previously accomplished last September against Udinese and Venezia under coach Ivan Juric.

The Roman gladiators are currently facing a tough challenge, having gone 13 away games without a win (7 draws, 6 losses), a situation not seen since a 15-match streak from April 1998 to March 1999. Their last away victory in the league was on April 25, when they triumphed over Udinese with a score of 2-1. In terms of hitting the woodwork, only Atalanta and Cagliari (both with 12) have done so more than Udinese and Roma, who have each hit the post 11 times, alongside Juventus, in the ongoing season.

Player Stats

Florian Thauvin has netted five goals and assisted three times in this championship over 18 matches, matching his personal best for goals and assists in a Serie A season: 5 goals and 3 assists in 2023/24, although he achieved that in 29 games.

Paulo Dybala has made a significant impact against Udinese in Serie A, contributing to 21 goals in 21 appearances (12 goals and 9 assists), setting a record for the most goal involvements against a single opponent since records began in the 2004/05 season.

Stephan El Shaarawy has scored six times against Udinese in Serie A, with only Chievo being a tougher opponent for him, as he has seven goals against them. Notably, all of El Shaarawy’s last six Serie A goals have come in home games, with his most recent away goal occurring on May 27, 2023, against Fiorentina.
