Lazio vs Udinese | Where to Watch, Insights, Lineups & Prediction

Udinese Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

While Lazio will be looking to overtake Bologna in the table, 11th-placed Udinese are only four points behind them, so a win in Rome would certainly boost the Friulians’ chances of finishing in the Top 10. In their last six outings, the Zebrette won twice, both coming on the road. Their most recent was a 3-0 beatdown of AC Milan at San Siro.

However, Kosta Runjaic’s men failed to win at home in their last three attempts. Last weekend, they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Parma, showcasing their lack of consistency.

Lazio vs Udinese: Match Insights

• The reverse fixture: When the two sides met in December, the contest ended 1-1, with Keinan Davis snatching a controversial last-minute equalizer.
• Udinese’s away run: The Zebrette are undefeated in their three contests on the road, earning a draw against Atalanta, and beating Genoa and Milan.
• Lazio’s recent shortcomings against Udinese: The Aquile failed to beat the Friulians in their last four meetings. The most recent two contests ended in draws, while the Bianconeri had prevailed in the previous two.

Expected Starting Lineups

Lazio (4-3-3): Motta; Lazzari, Romagnoli, Provstgaard, Pellegrini; Dele-Bashiru, Cataldi, Basic; Isaksen, Maldini, Zaccagni.

Udinese (3-4-2-1): Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet; Ehizibue, Piotrowski, Zarraga, Kamara; Ekkelenkamp, ​​Atta; Zaniolo. 

Prediction: Lazio 1-1 Udinese

After playing 120 minutes in midweek, some of Lazio’s players could be physically and emotionally spent. Although Sarri is expected to rotate his lineup, the Biancocelesti could lose some of their edge, especially since they don’t have much left to fight for in the last five rounds of the Serie A campaign.

Moreover, Lazio will take on a defensively organized team that enjoys playing on the road, which is the sort of opponent that the Aquile had often struggled against. Therefore, this one could go either way, and the two sides might well settle for another draw.
