The Aquile look to arrest a spell of poor form and these Udinese vs. Lazio predictions suggest that they could pick up some morale-boosting points. Maurizio Sarri’s side has won just one of their last five games but come up against a similarly out-of-shape Zebrette team.
Udinese vs. Lazio odds
1 – Lazio to win – 7/5
2 – Over 1.5 goals scored – 15/8
3 – Ciro Immobile to score anytime – 13/15
4 – Lazio to keep a clean sheet – 23/20
5 – A draw at full-time – 37/15
Udinese hope to bounce back following a disappointing defeat to Fiorentina but face a Lazio team in desperate need of a win. The Zebrette have won just one game in their last four and, as a result, have dropped out of the top half of the table. It looks like a disappointing finish to the campaign for Andrea Sottil’s side.
The season could also have an underwhelming conclusion for Lazio. They have spent most of 2023 in second place but have now dropped to fourth in the Serie A standings. Maurizio Sarri will be desperate to get back on track on Sunday and will be glad to see that his side are heavy favourites for the clash at the Dacia Arena.
In contrast to their hosts’ low-scoring matches, Lazio fixtures have had no shortage of goals in recent weeks, with last weekend’s 2-2 draw no exception. In fact, there have been two or more goals in all of Lazio’s last four matches, suggesting a bet on over 1.5 scored on Sunday could well pay off.
True to form, it was Ciro Immobile who got the opener against Lecce – and we back the captain to score anytime against a Udinese side that is in desperate need of such a clinical forward.
Andrea Sottil’s squad has definitely been lacking in front of goal in recent weeks, with injuries to the likes of Gerard Duelofeu, Beto and Isaac Success robbing Udinese of their forwards. With the gamble on Florian Thauvin failing to pay off, it may be worth a wager on Lazio to secure a clean sheet here.
Despite their status as favourites, the visitors have good reason to be wary of their opponents this weekend. Lazio have drawn their last four games against the Zebrette and come off the back of a draw against a lower-ranked side in Lecce. Should Lazio put in a similarly poor defensive performance on Sunday, Udinese are more than capable of securing an unlikely point.

Udinese team news
A post-match brawl last weekend saw Rodrigo Becao sent off, meaning Adam Masina is expected to slot in at left centre-back against Lazio. Andrea Sottil may also look to shake up the attack and could welcome Beto back from injury. But Gerard Deulofeu and Isaac Success remain sidelined.
Lazio team news
Maurizio Sarri may look to shake the side up following a draw to Lecce. A poor performance from Elseid Hysaj could see Lorenzo Pellegrini receive a rare start, while Pedro may come into the starting XI in place of Felipe Anderson. Danilo Cataldi remains Lazio’s only injury absence.
