Reeling team Udinese Calcio (8-14-6, 30 points) is scheduled to meet streaking squad AS Roma (16-4-8, 56 points) at the Dacia Arena in Udine on Sunday, March 13th for a 2015-2016 Serie A season game.
Udinese is looking to find a rare win these days as they are only four points away from the relegation zone at the moment. The team had been winless in five of their last six outings, dropping them to the 16th spot of the league table.
Bianconeri Friuliani's most recent match was an embarrassing 0-2 defeat in the hands of bottom three squad Frosinone Calcio at the Stadio Matusa last Sunday, as per ESPN.
Frosinone outpointed Udinese twice in the match, once in each half, as forward Daniel Ciofani scored a goal at the 12th minute while defender Leonardo Blanchard doubled the lead with a header right at the hour mark.
Head coach Stefano Colantuono's boys were not able to respond to both goals as they lost for the third time in their last four games.
Meanwhile, Roma extended their winning run to seven games after they convincingly beat fourth-running ACF Fiorentina, 4-1, at their home stadium of Stadio Olimpico in Rome on March 4th, as reported by Goal.
Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah scored a double at the 25th and 58th minutes to lead Luciano Spalletti's side over Viola with striker Stephan El Shaarawy opening the scoring at the 22nd. Argentine forward Diego Perotti netted his goal at the 38th minute to complete I Giallorossi's four-goal haul in the match.
Fiorentina's Slovenian midfielder Josip Ilicic scored a consolation goal via a penalty kick right before halftime to put his club on the board and avoid a shutout.
The win was La Maggica's 13th unbeaten game in their last 14 outings as they firmly held their third place standing in the league table, widening the gap over Viola to three points.
The predicted result is a 3-0 romp for Roma as they continue on with their winning streak.
Udinese starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Karnezis; Piris, Danilo, Felipe, Kadhim; Agyemang-Badu, Guilherme, Kuzmanovic; Fernandes, Di Natale, Thereau
