Lazio vs Udinese Prediction & Match Preview

• Lazio lost four of the previous five outings across competitions.
• I Biancocelesti failed to score in the last two defeats to AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
• None of Udinese’s previous six league matches saw three or more goals scored.

Lazio get back to domestic duties after the Champions League exit in the round of 16. I Biancocelesti could not maintain a one-goal advantage in the tie with German champions Bayern Munich. They fell 0-3 in the reverse game on Tuesday evening at Allianz Arena. Maurizio Sarri’s men produced a weak display overall, failing to threaten Bayern’s goal apart from one Ciro Immobile chance.

I Biancocelesti will be hoping to bounce back on Monday evening. They play host to bottom-half side Udinese in the last match of Gameweek No 28 in Italian Serie A. Things did not go as planned for Sarri’s troops in domestic league of late either. Lazio lost three of the previous four Serie A outings. They are ninth in the league table, sitting as many as eleven points behind Bologna in fourth position.

Udinese will not enter the tie in much higher spirits either. They failed to dispatch the likes of Salernitana in a disappointing 1-1 stalemate last weekend at Bluenergy Stadium. Gabriele Cioffi’s men are still in big danger of relegation, sitting just one point above the danger zone ahead of this game.

Recent Meetings

Lazio go into this on the back of four wins and three draws in the previous seven clashes against Udinese.

The run includes a 2-1 victory for I Biancocelesti in the return game played two months ago in Udine.

Only one of the last five head-to-head games between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

Lazio vs Udinese Prediction

Lazio suffered a disappointing 0-1 loss to AC Milan last Friday in their previous Serie A match. They finished the game with eight men on the pitch as the likes of Luca Pellegrini, Adam Marusic, and Matteo Guendouzi all got sent off on the occasion. None of them will be able to help the team in this clash against Udinese. When you add the negative momentum and poor spirits in the dressing room, after the Champions League elimination, it is hard to find value in backing the home win at the 1.90 odds. A two-point return from the last three league games was certainly underwhelming for Udinese who have faced the likes of Cagliari, Genoa, and Salernitana along the way. Nevertheless, the team from Udine have shown better displays against top-half sides so far in the season, beating both AC Milan and Juventus away from home this term. Draw or away win double chance is our main betting prediction here and you can go for it at the odds of 1.83.

We will alternatively take the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.66 odds. None of Udinese’s last six league outings produced three or more goals. Also, Lazio have been dreadful offensively of late, failing to find the back of the net in successive losses to AC Milan and Bayern Munich. They did not register a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of action at Allianz Arena on Tuesday night. Finally, five of the previous six head-to-head matches between these counterparts finished with fewer than three goals scored.
