Analysis & Preview
A Serie A encounter, Regular Season - 21 sees Udinese travel to Stadio Olimpico to take on AS Roma. The game is scheduled for Sunday 24 January 2027, 17:30 UTC.
Form Guide
AS Roma — All Games: 8W 2D 0L from 10 Serie A outings this season, averaging 2.60 points per game. Last five: W W D D W. They are averaging 2.30 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.50 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 7 clean sheets from 10 games (70%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. AS Roma have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
At home at Stadio Olimpico, AS Roma have gone 7W 3D 0L this season (10 games, 2.40 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Stadio Olimpico.
Across all Serie A games this season, Udinese have recorded 2W 1D 7L from 10 outings — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L L L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Udinese have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
When travelling in Serie A this season, Udinese have posted 4W 2D 4L from 10 away outings — 1.40 PPG. They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Their away PPG of 1.40 exceeds their overall 0.70 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.
AS Roma are in the better shape of the two on current Serie A data — 1.90 PPG ahead (2.60 vs 0.70). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
H2H
The historical ledger comes down firmly in favour of AS Roma: 7 wins from 10 previous clashes against 2 for Udinese, with 1 draws across those contests.
The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 2 Feb 2026, ended 0–1 with Udinese winning.
The historical record gives AS Roma a meaningful edge here — 7 wins from 10 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.
In-Play Data
AS Roma trading profile (45 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 59% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 32% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time.
Udinese trading profile (45 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — AS Roma 33% versus Udinese 49%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (AS Roma 40% | Udinese 49%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects AS Roma 2.30 xG and Udinese 1.22 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: AS Roma attack 1.286 / defence 0.755 | Udinese attack 1.225 / defence 1.226. League average goals — home 1.458 / away 1.321. AS Roma carry an above-average attack strength of 1.286 — their λ of 2.30 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Udinese bring a strong defensive rating of 1.226 — this is suppressing AS Roma's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Udinese have an above-average attack strength of 1.225 — the away xG of 1.22 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. AS Roma's defence rating of 0.755 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 45 AS Roma games / 45 Udinese games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: AS Roma 62% | Draw 19% | Udinese 19%. Fair-value odds: AS Roma 1.61 | Draw 5.26 | Udinese 5.26. The model has a clear lean to AS Roma (62%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.52. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.52 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (2.30 / 1.22) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates AS Roma as the most likely outcome at 62% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.52 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 68% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: AS Roma 40% | Udinese 50%.

Model Mechanics
Working from AS Roma's attack rating (1.29) and Udinese's defence rating (1.23), the model arrives at 2.30 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, Udinese's attack versus AS Roma's defence, projects 1.22 expected goals for the visitors.
These ratings are built from 45/45 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.
