Maduka Okoye will be aiming to register his fifth clean sheet of the season when Udinese host AS Roma at the BlueEnergy Stadium in a Serie A matchday 23 clash.
The goalkeeper last kept a clean sheet in December during Udinese’s 1–0 victory over Napoli. Since then, he has gone four consecutive matches without one, excluding the 5–1 defeat to Fiorentina in which he was sent off in the seventh minute.
The Nigeria international faces a stern test against a Roma side that have found the back of the net in each of their last seven matches across all competitions. Their most recent failure to score in a competitive fixture came on January 3, in a 1–0 loss to Napoli.
Since returning from his ban related to a betting scandal, Okoye has made 14 appearances for Udinese, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 18 goals.
