Lazio vs Udinese prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21

The Serie A is back in action with another exciting fixture this weekend as Lazio take on Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Lazio have a formidable squad and are the favourites to win this game.

Udinese have experienced a difficult Serie A campaign so far and are dangerously close to the relegation zone at the moment. The away side edged a ten-man Genoa outfit to a 1-0 victory last weekend and will have to take it up a notch against Simone Inzaghi's side.

Lazio have recovered from a slow start to the season and are unbeaten in their last four Serie A games. The Biancocelesti strolled to a 2-0 victory against Crotone in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Lazio vs Udinese Prediction

Lazio have a feared attacking line-up and the likes of Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto, and Joaquin Correa can dismantle any opposition on their day. Simone Inzaghi does have a few areas of improvement to address but will largely be happy with his side's resurgence this season.

Udinese are in need of a shot in the arm and a victory against the Biancocelesti can potentially turn their season around. Lazio are the better side on paper, however, and hold all the cards ahead of this fixture.

Prediction: Lazio 3-1 Udinese
