Udinese vs Lazio prediction: Udine to witness a hard-fought draw
Key stats
- Udinese have won only four of their last 10 Serie A fixtures (L6).
- The Friulani have conceded the joint-most goals in the bottom half of the table (27).
- Lazio have conceded the second fewest goals in the top half of the table (11).
- The Biancocelesti have scored the joint-fewest goals away from home in Serie A (4).
Correct score prediction: Udinese 2-2 Lazio
In what was supposed to be one of their easiest fixtures this term turned into a nightmare, as bottom-placed Fiorentina shipped five past Kosta Runjaic’s men to earn their first win of the season. Udinese will rejoice on their return to Stadio Friuli, where they’ve lost only thrice in 10 competitive fixtures this season, although two of those defeats arrived in their last three home outings.
On the other hand, Lazio are on a three-match unbeaten run in the league, drawing two of those games. In particular, Maurizio Sarri, however, will be concerned with his side’s offensive form, having found the net just thrice in their last five matches across all competitions.
Udinese could very well use this occasion to return to winning ways on home turf, but Lazio have proven to be a tough team to beat. A draw is the most probable outcome for this fixture in the north of Italy.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Lazio with the marginal odds
- HOME: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.2%
- AWAY: 29/20 (2.45) – 40.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Udinese’s form post-November has been poor at best, with the hosts winning only three of their eight games since the start of the month. With 2/1 (3.00) odds, Runjaic’s men have a 33.3% chance of success on home turf.
Lazio sit just two points behind the top six, and will see this trip to Udine as the perfect way to extend their unbeaten December form. With 17/20 (1.85) odds assigned in their favour, Lazio have a 40.8% win probability rate.
