- In Serie A 2026/2027, Udinese have earned 4pts from 2 games while Lazio have 6pts from 2.
- Both teams have scored in just 1 of Udinese's 1 home games this season and in just 1 of Lazio's 1 away games in Serie A.
- The 2 meetings between these clubs last season finished level and they drew 3-3 in Serie A 2025/2026.
Cagey clash awaits at the Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese Calcio and SS Lazio will meet at the Friuli on Monday in a matchup of two of Serie A's teams this season, with the hosts in 7th on 4pts from 2 games and the visitors in 6th on 6pts from 2.
Gennaro Gattuso has instilled a new identity upon Lazio this year, where they press hard, play with a high line and get in behind with numbers. It has been a direct approach to games with the ball and it looks good for the Biancocelesti, who have won four of their last five in all competitions and are on a two-game winning streak after beating Bologna away and Genoa at home 1-0.
Kosta Runjaic has also been good for Udinese this year, making his side compact, vertical and able to recover the ball quickly to transition and get forward. In Serie A 2026/2027, I Bianconeri have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, drawing at home to Como (1-1) and beating Monza away (2-3) in their two outings in the top flight. However, they have yet to be ruthless in their play and could do with an out-and-out goalscorer.
Lazio to edge it in a cagey affair
Hassane Kamara has been Udinese's top marksman in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring 2 goals in 2 games, while Davide Frattesi has 2 goals in 2 games at Lazio, with Boulaye Dia registering 1 assist. Mattia Zaccagni has scored 5 of Lazio's last 9 goals across the last 5 matches, so the game could be decided by a couple of moments.
Lazio have failed to win either of their last 2 away matches against Udinese, so that gives the hosts the edge in the head-to-head stakes. But we believe the visitors are right to be 2.6 favourites to win this match, ahead of Udinese at 2.78 and the draw at 3.05.
A smarter alternative would be to back Under 2.5 goals at 1.57, as this is a game that could remain close and cagey for most of the 90 minutes. Udinese are conceding just 1.00 goals per game at home this term in Serie A, so they can keep it close, while Lazio have scored once on their only away trip in the league so far and have shown enough to suggest they can do enough to get the win.
