There will be pressure on Lazio this weekend, as the Italian giants look to consolidate their spot in the Serie A Champions League places. However, Udinese will be looking for a fine that could take them into the top half of the standings.
Serie A Preview
The race for the Champions League spots looks set to go down to the wire in Serie A. Lazio currently holds the final qualification spot, but they sit just four points clear of AC Milan with three matches. However, a victory on the road could see them take a huge stride in their season goal of returning back into the Champions League.
Lazio comes into this fixture in slightly worrying form, as they have lost three of their last five. Meanwhile, they have won just once over the same period. After suffering just two defeats in their last 18 matches on the road, Lazio come into this fixture having suffered back-to-back defeats in their previous two. They haven’t suffered more than two straight defeats on their travels since May 2021.
Udinese have already secured enough points to maintain their status in the top-flight, but a victory this weekend could lift them into the top half of the standings. However, wins have been in short supply over their recent outings, as they have registered just two in their previous five. Over the same period, they have suffered two defeats.
But, Udinese boasts an excellent home record in recent Serie A fixtures, as they are unbeaten in their previous eight. However, they have been held to five draws over that period. But, they haven’t enjoyed a longer unbeaten record at home in the top-flight since going 18 matches without loss in 2012-13.
Udinese vs Lazio Head to Head
Udinese has a poor record in this fixture, as they have registered just a single win in their last 16 against Lazio. Over the same period, Lazio has recorded ten victories. The traveling side also come into this match having gone nine without defeat on the road against Udinese.
Udinese vs Lazio Prediction
Udinese’s home record deserves respect this weekend, as they have been incredibly hard to beat in recent months. We could see a draw being the most likely outcome this weekend, just as it has been in the previous three clashes between the sides.
