Udinese vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (27 December)

12th in the standings, Udinese is only two points behind its opponent of the day. A victory at the end of regulation time and the local team would return to the first half of the table. However, suffice to say that the Udine players will simply seek to reassure themselves following their heavy disappointment on the pitch at Fiorentina last weekend 5-1. A result conditioned by the exclusion of Okoye goalkeeper at the very start of the match. A fourth defeat in the previous six days, after those against Genoa 1-2, Bologna 0-3 and on the turf of AS Roma 2-0. For its part, Lazio is floundering behind the top 6, being 8th in the early morning.

Receiving Cremonese on the previous day last weekend, Laziale failed to win, held to a 0-0 draw without a visit. Already at home, she had been blocked in her ascent against Bologna 1-1. Against the two Milanese clubs Inter and AC, the Romans were no match, suffering two defeats against Inter 2-0 and AC Milan 1-0. On the road, Mauricio Sarri's men have won only one of their last five matches, it was at poorly ranked Parma 0-1 in an unorthodox scenario since Lazio finished the match 9 against 11 from the 77th minute after having played with ten from the 42nd minute. 

The titular goalkeeper Okoye will logically be missing, suspended following his exclusion against Fiorentina. French midfielder Arthur Atta (1 goal, 2 assists in the league) is injured and will probably have to withdraw, the same goes for Zimbabwean international Jordan Zemura. Ivorian international Bayo (1 assist) and Angolan international Rui Modesto left to play the African Cup of Nations. Note the presence of attackers K.Davis, author of 4 goals plus 2 assists in the league and the fallen Zaniolo (4 goals). At Lazio, the suspended Zaccagni (3 goals in SA) and Toma Basic (1 goal, 2 assists) will be back while Guendouzi will go the opposite way (suspended for accumulation of yellow cards).

Danish international Gustav Isaksen (2 goals) will remain on the injured bench accompanied by Nicolo Rovella, Albanian international Hysaj and French central defender Samuel Gigot. Note the departures to the CAN of Boulaye Dia (Senegal) and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (Nigeria). The attackers Matteo Cancellieri (3 goals) and Castellanos (3 goals) will be traveling. The probable line-ups for Udinese - Lazio Rome: Udinese: Sava - Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet - Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlström, Ekkelenkamp, Bertola - Zaniolo, Davis. Lazio Rome: Provedel - Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini - Belahyane, Cataldi, Vecino - Cancellieri, Castellanos, Zaccagni.
