Lazio vs Udinese Preview

Lazio vs Udinese

Competition – Serie A

Stadium – Stadio Olimpico

Date: 24th January 2018

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

Lazio have become one of the toughest sides in Italy this season.

Helped by former Liverpool stars, Lucas Leiva and Luis Alberto, they are on course to qualify for the Champions League.

Inter Milan’s draw with AS Roma at the weekend has made them sit comfortably inside the top four.

Lazio have won their last few games by a combined score of 9-1 but they face a huge challenge here because Udinese have not lost any of their last 5 away games.

Udinese have scored in 90% of their league games this season and they have netted 3 goals per game this season on average.

Since their new manager Massimo Oddo took charge, Udinese have only lost to Napoli in the league and he has managed to take 17 points from his first 8 games in charge.

That run of form has taken them to 9th in the league table and if they keep up their performance, a place in Europe could be theirs by the end of the season.

Udinese’s attack has been the most improved – they started Oddo’s reign with an 8-3 win over Perugia and they have scored 10 goals in their last 5 games, including 3 away at Inter Milan.
