Udinese Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

The Zebrette have been almost flawless since the start of the season. In their first competitive match, they expectedly edged past Padova in the opening round of Coppa Italia. They then started their league campaign by holding Como to a 1-1 draw at home.

Last weekend, Udinese returned from Monza with three points in the bag following a thrilling 3-2 victory that featured stunning strikes from Hassane Kamara and Jurgen Ekkelekamp, placing themselves 7th in the table. In their last outing, the Friulians relied on Vakoun Bayo’s brace to complete a come-from-behind win over Venezia and book their place in the Coppa Italia Round of 16.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Contrary to Udinese, Lazio suffered an embarrassing early elimination from the Coppa Italia, as Montova stunned the meagre crowd at the Stadio Olimpico by coming away with a 2-0 win. Luckily, for the Aquile, they swiftly recovered from that blow to register back-to-back wins in their first two Serie A outings.

Gennaro Gattuso’s men outplayed Bologna at the Renato Dall’Ara and Genoa at home to start the season with a perfect record, similar to Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta. The league standings show Lazio in sixth place due to their inferior goal difference, as they won both fixtures by a minimal result thanks to two Davide Frattesi winners.

Udinese vs Lazio: Match Insights

• A first in 14 years: Lazio started their campaign with two Serie A wins for the first time since the 2012/13 season, when Vladimir Petkovic was in charge.
• Lazio’s recent struggles against Udinese: The Biancocelesti have failed to beat the Zebrette in their last five attempts. The last three meetings ended with draws, while the Friulians won the previous two.

Expected Starting Lineups

Udinese (3-4-2-1): Okeye; Abankwah, Kabasele, Solet; Vojvoda, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Kamara; Ekkelenkamp, Gomez; Davis.

Lazio (4-3-3): Mandas; Floriani Mussolini, Doekhi, Provstgaard, Tavares; Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor; Cancellieri, Pinamonti, Zaccagni.

Final Score Prediction: Udinese 1-2 Lazio

With both sides riding high on momentum, this could be a fun affair. Udinese are one of the physically strongest sides in Serie A, while Lazio will have to rely on the mobility of their midfielders to make the difference.

The game could be decided by the slightest of margins, so the energy expended midweek against Venezia could return to haunt the Zebrette, giving a small advantage to Gattuso’s men in the final stretch, at least if they can become more decisive in front of goal after acquiring Andrea Pinamonti and Alfred Gudmundsson.
