- In Serie A 2026/2027, Udinese have drawn one and haven't lost their only home game, while Lazio have won their sole away fixture.
- The hosts have conceded an average of just 1.00 goals per game on home soil this season, which should ensure a cagey matchup.
- Lazio have failed to win either of their last two away games to Udinese, but they have looked more consistent in 2026/2027 so far.
Tense fixture on the cards at Bluenergy Stadium
The bookies have Lazio priced up at 8/5 ahead of Udinese Calcio at 89/50 and the draw at 41/20 for this Monday clash at the Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli, but we will be siding with the hosts in the double chance market for a tight encounter. Both sides have started the new season with solid form and look set for a close encounter in Italy.
I Bianconeri have won four and drawn one of their last five across all competitions, a run which has seen them beat Monza 2-3 in the away and hold Como to a 1-1 draw at home. Kosta Runjaic's men have a vertical style of play where the wing-backs are used to provide width and they play a high line, while the pressing triggers are set up to ensure they can transition from defence to attack quickly and effectively.
In Serie A 2026/2027, they have drawn and not lost either of their opening two games with four points putting them in seventh place, while Lazio have six points from two games and sit in sixth in the table, giving the visitors a slight edge in the overall picture.
Head-to-head record is hard to ignore
I Biancocelesti have won four and lost one of their last five games across all competitions, currently riding a two-game winning streak after a 1-0 win at Bologna and a 1-0 win over Genoa at home.
Gennaro Gattuso has made them a more direct and high-intensity team in this new campaign with their press more hard-running and quicker to close down the ball. Lazio's direct attacks are more threatening than they were last term.
Hassane Kamara top scores for Udinese in Serie A 2026/2027 with two goals in two matches and his ability to provide a targetman that can find space in behind defences from deep will be a key for the Bianconeri on Monday. Davide Frattesi has scored twice in two for Lazio, while Boulaye Dia has one assist and Mattia Zaccagni has five of Lazio's last nine goals in their previous five.
Lazio could just win it
The head-to-head for this fixture is cagey with two draws in the last two meetings and a 3-3 draw in Serie A 2025/2026. We think this will be a close contest with Lazio marginally favoured, but Udinese are well equipped to make this a struggle.
Under 2.5 goals is our smart alternative selection at 57/100 and we think this will be a game where the margin is slim and the tension high with Lazio just about doing enough to win.
