Roma and Udinese will close the Serie A Matchday No 5 on Thursday evening when they come across each other at the Stadio Olimpico.

Both Roma and Udinese will be hoping to bounce back from recent defeats when they take on each other in the last fixture of the mid-week’s Serie A Matchday.

The Romans fell 3-2 away at struggling Hellas Verona, allowing them to snatch the first win of the season.

It was, at the same time, Roma’s maiden slip-up of the campaign, the one that followed three successive victories.

Roma were on their way to maintain the perfect record after the first half, but their game completely fell apart inside the opening 20 minutes of the second period.

Verona bagged three goals within 14 minutes to secure their inaugural victory of the campaign.

Udinese, on the other side, also suffered their first defeat of the season. It was actually a genuine disaster as the team led by Luca Gotti lost 0-4 at home to Napoli.

Gotti’s men thus shipped four goals in a single game after allowing no more than two goals in the opening three rounds (a run that included a 2-2 draw to Juventus on the opening day).

Udinese’s three-man back line is obviously vulnerable against stronger teams as they conceded two goals to Juventus and four to Napoli so far in the season.

Their clean-sheet victories came against the likes of Venezia and Spezia.

罗马和乌迪内斯将在周四晚上结束意甲第五比赛日，他们将在奥林匹克球场相遇。

罗马和乌迪内斯都希望在本周中期意甲比赛日的最后一场比赛中从最近的失利中恢复过来。

罗马在客场3-2负于苦苦挣扎的维罗纳，使他们获得了本赛季的第一场胜利。

与此同时，这也是罗马在连续三场胜利后的第一次失误。

罗马在上半场之后保持着完美的记录，但是他们的比赛在第二节开始的20分钟内就完全崩溃了。

维罗纳在14分钟内攻入3球，确保了他们的首场胜利。

另一方面，乌迪内斯也遭遇了本赛季的首场失利。这实际上是一场真正的灾难，因为由卢卡·戈蒂率领的球队在主场0:4输给了那不勒斯。

在前三轮比赛中，他们只丢了两个球(包括在揭幕战中2-2战平尤文图斯)，而戈蒂的球队在一场比赛中就进了四个球。

乌迪内斯的三人后防线在面对强队时显然很脆弱，因为他们在本赛季迄今为止输给了尤文图斯2球，输给了那不勒斯4球。

他们在对阵像威尼斯和斯佩齐亚这样的球队时取得了不失球的胜利。
