Can Lazio keep up?
Lazio Rome does not want to lose ground again in the battle for European places in Serie A. However, Maurizio Sarri’s team faces a difficult task in their upcoming away game. Their upcoming opponents have collected only two points less than the team from the capital this season. Accordingly, the Biancocelesti are only considered slight favorites in an Udinese vs. Lazio Rome tip.
The Romans’ upcoming opponents once again lived up to their reputation as this season’s surprise package on the last matchday. Kosta Runjaic’s team went down 5-1 to Fiorentina, who were bottom of the table and without a win until then. Nevertheless, according to our Udinese vs. Lazio Rome prediction, the hosts have the potential to surprise again in the upcoming match.
However, we do not expect as many goals as in the game in Florence. This is because Lazio coach Sarri’s destructive style has meant that the Biancocelesti’s away games so far have been largely low-scoring.
Udinese – Lazio Rome Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
The two clubs have faced each other 93 times in total. Lazio lead the overall record with 42 wins. Udinese have recorded 27 wins, with 24 draws. The Bianconeri’s home record against the team from the capital is not much better, with 14 wins in 46 games.
However, Udinese Calcio are now unbeaten in three games against Maurizio Sarri’s team. Nevertheless, the betting odds for Udinese vs. Lazio Rome show that the bookies give the visitors the better chances of winning the upcoming match.
Udinese – Lazio Rome Tip
In Florence, Runjaic’s team showed their worst side. An early red card for goalkeeper Okoye heralded the debacle, at the end of which bottom-of-the-table Florence celebrated their first league win of the season. The only thing that remains consistent for Udinese this season is their inconsistency.
Victories against championship contenders Napoli and Inter Milan, as well as Champions League participants Atalanta Bergamo, alternated with weak performances against bottom-of-the-table Fiorentina and Genoa. Nevertheless, the Bianconeri have mostly looked good against teams from the top half of the table this season, which is why we also believe Kosta Runjaic’s team can do well against Lazio Rome.
His team has remained unbeaten in its last three games against Lazio Rome (2-1-0), and it also won its last home game against the capital city team. That’s why we see value in the Udinese vs. Lazio Rome prediction that the home team will get something out of the game on Saturday, possibly even celebrating a win.
Due to the goalless draw in their home game against Cremonese, Lazio Rome were unable to make up any decisive ground in the battle for European places in the Italian top flight. This means that the capital club have only managed one win in their last four league games. In any case, the recent impressions of Sarri’s team do not strengthen our confidence in a Udinese vs. Lazio Rome tip for an away win.
Nor does their away record in Serie A so far. With only two wins and four defeats in eight away games, there is not much sign of the away strength of previous seasons (2-2-4) this season. However, the Laziali’s last away win in Parma was curious, as it came with two players sent off.
Of the two players who received red cards in that game, striker Mattia Zaccagni is available again against Udinese. Midfielder Toma Basic, on the other hand, will have to continue watching from the sidelines. Despite Zaccagni’s return, we don’t expect many goals in the upcoming away game.
Anyone familiar with the Romans’ style of play under Maurizio Sarri in away games will hardly be surprised that seven of their eight away games have ended with fewer than three goals. It is therefore no surprise that the odds in the best betting apps for the under 2.5 goals tip for the upcoming game are not particularly high. Each of the Biancocelesti’s last eleven competitive games has had a maximum of two goals.
