Udinese – Lazio : Preview & Prediction
The full Lazio Roma have struggled to play this Udinese side in their two direct encounters this season. Indeed, the Roman club was held in check in the first leg in the Italian capital (4-4) and obtained its qualification for the 1/4 finals of the Italian Cup after extra time (1-0 ap) on January 18th. It was Ciro Immobile who had been the executioner of Udine with 2 achievements in the last two duels. But the Friuli club will be able to rub their hands because the top scorer of Calcio (19 goals) is forfeited for this meeting as well as Lucas Leiva, Manuel Lazzari (2 goals), Luis Alberto (3 goals), Francesco Acerbi (3 goals ). Apart from a heavy failure against Atalanta (2-6) on January 9, Udinese have not lost any other match at the Dacia Arena since October. Beto’s partners (8 goals) notably hooked AC Milan (1-1) and beat Torino (2-0) on February 6. Lazio Rome has lost 2 of its last 3 matches in Milan (4-0) in the Italian Cup and at FC Porto (2-1) in the Europa League on Thursday. The Roman club, 6th, could be stuck with the current 15th in Serie A which is only one victory ahead of the relegation zone.
Udinese have lost only once in their last 9 home matches.
Udinese had hung at the Dacia Arena Lazio (0-0) in July 2020 and lost narrowly (0-1) last season.

Udine have lost just 4 times (Lazio, Juve, Atalanta) in their last 9 outings in all competitions.
