Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Friuli when Udinese and Lazio square off against each other in the Serie A round 19. The Zebrette rolled over Bologna 3-0 in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Lazio. The likes of Vivaldo, Keinan Davis, Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse, Brenner, and Gerard Deulofeu remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Empoli and Frosinone, but beating Udinese on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards in Udine and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the away side, Manuel Lazzari is back from suspension, while both Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto miss out with injuries.
