Football Prediction Lazio vs Udinese, 01:45 on 28/04

Analysis of the match between Lazio and Udinese

Lazio delivered an impressive performance against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia semi-final, securing a place in the final. This is considered their most realistic path to qualifying for European competitions next season, rather than spreading their efforts too thin in Serie A. Currently, the capital club sits 9th in the standings with 47 points. The 9-point gap to the 5th and 6th positions held by Como and Roma can still be closed, but it is clearly not an easy task. Lazio not only need to win all of their remaining five matches but also rely on their direct rivals to slip up – a rather unlikely scenario. In this round, Lazio will face Udinese, a team with little left to play for as they sit 11th with 43 points and are in poorer form. However, the head-to-head record does not favor the home side. In the last 4 meetings, Udinese remain unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws. More impressively, they are unbeaten in their last 6 visits to the Olimpico (2 wins, 4 draws). Therefore, it would not be surprising if Udinese pull off a surprise victory away at Lazio.
