Lazio vs Udinese Prediction
Lazio come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Viktoria Plzen in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 tie in midweek to continue their strong campaign under the management. They are searching for a top four finish in Serie A, most recently defeating AC Milan by two goals to one at San Siro last weekend thanks to a 98th minute winning penalty scored by Pedro. They now face an Udinese side that edged past Parma by a goal to nil to make it four victories and a draw in their last five matches as the Friulians try and push towards the European spots. Given their impressive form of late, and the fact Lazio may well be distracted by that second-leg coming up against Viktoria, it could well be good value to side with Udinese at the Olimpico.
Lazio vs Udinese Tip: Double chance – Udinese to win or draw
