Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio are on the quest to turn things around against Udinese with Ciro Immobile and Mattia Zaccagni leading the line in Rome.
The match between the Biancocelesti and the Bianconeri kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Lazio’s Champions League dream came to an abrupt end last week after they suffered a painful 3-0 loss away to Bayern Munich, nullifying their impressive 1-0 win in the first leg.
Sarri’s squad have only won two of their last seven Serie A matches, a run that leaves them ninth in the Serie A table, far off the top four spots. Results need to come thick and fast if the team want to retain any hope of securing a Champions League finish.
Udinese have been in disastrous form across this season, picking up just three wins across 27 matches. Their insufficient work sees them tied on points with relegation candidates Hellas Verona, pilling on the pressure.
