Lazio will be looking to continue their climb up the league table with a win away to an off-the-mark Udinese.
The match between the Bianconeri and the Biancocelesti kicks off at 14.00 UK time at the Stadio Friuli in Udine.
Udinese have not managed to impress this season and replaced coach Andrea Sottil with Gabriele Cioffi back in October, hoping a change would turn their fortunes around. It hasn’t had the desire effect, and the team are circling dangerously close to the relegation zone.
The Friulian outfit are without a handful of injured players, limiting Cioffi’s options – Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse, Simone Pafundi, Gerard Deulofeu, Brenner, Semedo Vivaldo and Keinan Davis are all unavailable.
Lazio are starting to find their footing after an inconsistent start to the campaign and sit sixth points behind fourth place Fiorentina after 18 matches, keeping them in the race for Champions League qualification.
Maurizio Sarri’s side are without injured star duo Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto.
When these two sides met last term, Lazio secured a 1-0 win away to Udinese but were held to a 0-0 draw at home.
Probable line-ups for Udinese vs Lazio
Udinese (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Joao Ferreira, Perez, Kristensen; Ebosele, Lovric, Walace, Payero, Kamara; Pereyra; Lucca.
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Kamada; Isaksen, Castellanos, Zaccagni.
