AS Roma to bounce back after their last defeat
Three wins in a row gave Roma a flying start to the 2021/22 Serie A season. However, Jose Mourinho’s side suffered a surprise defeat in Verona last weekend. That was Mourinho’s first defeat with Roma in all competitions since taking over at the start of the season.
The three-time winners of the Scudetto are searching for their first title in 20 years. Consequently, there are big expectations by Roma fans from Mourinho who won the Serie A title with Inter twice. Regardless of their last defeat, Mourinho will urge his team to bounce back straight away as they host Udinese whom they beat in their last two meetings.
Roma Key points
A wake-up call is needed for Udinese
After a fine draw to start their Serie A season against Juventus, Udinese followed that with two wins. But on Monday Napoli came to play in Stadio Friuli in Udine and gave the hosts a footballing lesson. In fact, the 4-0 thrashing was Udinese largest defeat in 40 home games.
As a result, coach Luca Gotti must regroup his team before traveling to Rome as another tough match awaits them. Moreover, the horrible performance against Napoli is evident in Udinese’s 40% ball possession and just one shot on goal throughout the match. Therefore, the Bianconneri must taketheri last defeat as a wake up call if they want to stay intact with the top half teams.
