Over the last handful of matches, Claudio Ranieri has seemingly found his most consistent starting XI. The men Ranieri has been running out have gotten results in eight of nine matches. However, that all ended Thursday in Holland, as Roma fell 1-0 to Feyenoord in Europa League action. The loss puts Ranieri in an interesting position.
With Roma beginning to enter the busy part of its schedule and a crucial Europa League match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, Ranieri may need to make more changes on Sunday in Udine than he has in recent fixtures. But will the Tinkerman tinker give his key players some rest tomorrow ahead of Thursday, or will he stick with this group for another couple of matches?
After resting during their time in Holland, we should n expect to see Roma’s captain and vice-captain, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Gianluca Mancini, start tomorrow against Udinese. Mancini will slot in for Zeki Çelik, while Mats Hummels and Evan Ndicka are expected to retain their starting places in the back three. That group will, as always, play in front of Mile Svilar in goal.
With none of the other fullbacks on the roster enjoying Ranieri’s confidence and new signing Devyne Rensch having just arrived in Rome, it appears that Angeliño and Alexis Saelemaekers will again hold things down out wide. In the center of the park, Roma returns Bryan Cristante from a prolonged absence. But, the Italian is not expected to start. Instead, Niccoló Pisilli could spell Manu Koné alongside Leandro Paredes.
In the attack, Artem Dovbyk will continue to lead the line. However, the players supporting him might look a bit different in this match. Matías Soulé, who came off the bench on Thursday, could be a candidate to start, giving Paulo Dybala some rest ahead of the Frankfurt encounter. Meanwhile, Pellegrini seems to have a slight edge over Stephan El Shaarawy for the last starting spot.
Probable Formation
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Pisilli, Paredes, Angeliño; Pellegrini, Soulé; Dovbyk.
