Udinese is unbeaten in the last five Serie A games as they host a Lazio side with two victories in the last five matches. Read our reasons for Udinese vs Lazio prediction and betting tips.
Udinese coach Luca Gotti explains what has changed since the first half of the season and why Rodrigo De Paul has ‘a halo of positivity that envelops everyone around him.’ The Friulani were held to a 1-1 draw at Marassi by Genoa, the De Paul penalty canceling out a Goran Pandev opener. “The deadlock was broken by a fantastic goal from Pandev and I think when you see a goal created out of nowhere like that, you can only tip your hat and applaud,” the coach told the media. “Up until the final minutes, we felt like we were leaving here having dropped two points, but the chances at the end for Genoa made us feel perhaps happier with the draw. Those last 90 seconds or so did leave a bitter taste in the mouth, as we almost threw it all away.”
Udinese is now unbeaten in 10, having taken points off the likes of Inter and Milan, but Gotti doesn’t have any secret to this success. “To be honest, I don’t think we have changed that much. Udinese had some very good games, we were flattened by the first wave of COVID, and that damaged us right at the start of the season. There were a few games we deserved to lose, but overall I feel like, in the first half of the campaign, we deserved better results than the ones we ended up with. In the second half of the season, it feels more like we are getting the results we always deserved.” Gotti was asked about what Udinese can aim for in the future and the status of Argentina's international De Paul. “The future depends on the so-called important players in this squad and what the club decides to do. I realize the transfer market isn’t as lucrative as it was in the past. De Paul has been here for five years, every time he gets his head down and works harder than ever before. We’ll eventually sit down and work out a common strategy. He is mentally so strong, as he goes on international duty with Argentina, sharing a locker room with players from Barcelona, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain, yet every time he comes back here to Udine and works harder than anyone. You couldn’t blame him for being tempted.''

Simone Inzaghi admitted Bayern Munich is a team Lazio ‘simply cannot compete with right now,’ but they are ‘proud of our journey in Europe.’ The Aquile knew it was an impossible mission after losing the first leg 4-1 and fell 2-1 in Munich this evening, with Marco Parolo snatching a consolation late on. “After the first leg result, we could’ve risked embarrassment here tonight if we didn’t have the right attitude,” Inzaghi told the media. “However, I’d say we had an overall good performance, we leave this competition with honor because we were unbeaten in the six group games. The regret is the first leg, but against the European and World club champions, I think we did well tonight.”
Ciro Immobile was rested and with only Luiz Felipe injured, Adam Marusic was used as a makeshift defender, so is Lazio lacking strength in depth? “These lads have given me so much over five years and we had a run of six or seven consecutive Serie A victories, then missed important players. We have to do better at filling the gaps because we did the same when there were players who had COVID. We’ve got to improve in that area, because football has changed, we have to play every three days and need more options to rotate. I must say, the squad is considerably bigger and stronger now than in previous seasons, it’s just that when we lost players, they tended to all be in the same area of the team.”
Lazio (3-5-2): Reina; Patric, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto, Marusic; Caicedo, Immobile
Suspended: none
Injured: Fares, Luiz Felipe

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
