Udinese Team News
In the previous round of Serie A, the Udinese players lost to Fiorentina away from home by 2:0. The home team took the lead in the seventh minute of the game and doubled their advantage only in the last minute of the regular part of the match. At the end of the match, a red card was given to one Fiorentina player and Rodrigo Becao from the visiting camp.
Udinese currently occupies the 12th position in the table with 46 points won, and until the end of the season, they cannot be relegated from the league, just as they cannot win participation in any European competition. In the last eight league matches, they recorded two wins and two draws, as well as four losses. In addition to the match with Lazio, they will also play against Salernitana away, and in the last round, they will welcome Juventus on their field.
The best scorer of the home team, Beto, has recovered from his injury and is ready for the duel with Lazio. On the other hand, striker Isaac Success is still unavailable to coach Andrea Sottil, and neither is the primary playmaker, Gerard Deulofeu. Kingsley Ehizibue is questionable, while Rodrigo Becao is suspended.
His place in central midfield will probably be taken by Adam Masina, and if Ehizibue is not ready, Festy Ebosele should start on the right flank. It is expected that Beto is not fully ready to start in the starting 11, so Ilija Nestorovski should be in the forward position.
Lazio Team News
In the previous Serie A match, Lazio drew with Lecce at home, and the result was 2:2. The home team took the lead in the 34th minute, when Luis Alberto played past Ciro Immobile, and he put the ball into the net. The tie came at the very end of the first half, and at the beginning of the second, the guests turned the score in their favor. Although according to all statistical parameters, the Lazio players were the better rivals in this duel, they avoided defeat only in the fourth minute of stoppage time, when Sergej Milinković-Savic scored the goal.
They are currently in fourth position in the table with 65 points, four more than fifth-placed AC Milan. In the previous nine league games, they registered five wins, one draw, and three losses. Until the end of the season, in addition to the match with Udinese, they have a duel with Cremonese at home and a visit to Empoli.
In the next match, the visiting team, unlike Udinese, has much fewer problems with injured players. The only player who will not be available to coach Maurizio Sarri is Danilo Cataldi, while all other players are ready to welcome the next match.
Matias Vecino, after struggling with a thigh injury, should return to the starting 11 in midfield, but the Italian specialist may not make too many changes. This means that Mattia Zaccagni and Felipe Anderson will play on the wings, while Ciro Immobile will be in the heart of the attack.
Udinese vs Lazio H2H
The last three league duels between these teams ended in a draw. The last in the series was at the Lazio stadium, and the result was 0:0.
Expected Lineups
Udinese (3-5-2): Silvestri; Perez, Bijol, Masina; Ebosele, Samardzic, Walace, Lovric, Udogie; Pereyra, Nestorovski
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Casale, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Milinkovic-Savic, Vecino, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
Udinese vs Lazio Prediction
Lazio needs a win against the home team, as they have not yet secured the fourth place that leads to the group stage of the Champions League next season. On the other hand, Udinese can neither go higher nor lower than the middle of the table. However, based on the duels between each other, we are not so sure that there will be a “clean two”, so our tip for this match is a draw or a win for the guests. In addition, we believe that there will be less than 3.5 goals in the whole game because we expect a more closed game.
