H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Lazio Rome Team Overview
Lazio is the most unpredictable team in the Italian championship. The "Eagles" can win even when their chances of victory are practically zero, yet they can fail in a match against a not-so-serious opponent. Last weekend, the team secured a crucial away victory over Milan (2-1), thus continuing their chase of Juventus in the league table. However, more surprising was the victory of Marco Baroni's men in the game against Viktoria Plzen, which took place on Thursday as part of the Europa League. Lazio, playing 9 against 11, managed to score in the 98th minute and snatch a win (2-1), thereby increasing their chances of advancing to the next round. As for the upcoming clash, the coaching staff still cannot count on 3 players, among whom are Valentin Castellanos and Mattia Zaccagni, who are the main attacking threats to opponents.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
Udinese, in turn, has managed to gain excellent momentum. In recent matches, the team has collected 13 points out of a possible 15, with the only draw recorded in the game against Napoli (1-1). The "little zebras" deserve special attention for their performance in the previous 3 rounds - 3 clean sheet victories. Last weekend, Costa Runjaic's team narrowly defeated Parma at home (1-0), although they should have won with a more convincing result based on their play. This impressive stretch has allowed Udinese to move closer in the standings to clubs like Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina. Regarding the upcoming clash, the participation of 5 players is highly doubtful, including two goalkeepers - Maduka Okoye and Răzvan Sava (both injured).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
Recently, Udinese has become much more confident in their own half. The team hasn't conceded for three matches, despite having two goalkeepers in the infirmary. In the last game against Parma (1-0), for example, 39-year-old goalkeeper Daniele Padelli saved 4 shots on goal and kept a clean sheet. And this was his first appearance in the last three Serie A campaigns. In the upcoming match, Udinese should also offer decent resistance to their opponent, so we are betting on Lazio's total goals under 2.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Lazio continues to be among the leaders in many statistical parameters, and corners are no exception. The team plays active attacking football, forcing opponents to clear the ball beyond the goal line. The "Eagles" approach the corner flag an average of 6.2 times per game. Only Inter has higher numbers, having already played their match in this round (6.4 corners per game). Considering the home game, a bet on Lazio's total corners over 4.5 should come through without any problems.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers believe that Lazio will not face serious problems in the upcoming matchup, and their opinion is quite understandable. The team is playing at home, is higher in the standings, and also has a more balanced squad. However, we want to take a risk and bet on Udinese to win with a handicap (+1). Firstly, the recent results of the "Little Zebras" cannot leave anyone indifferent. The team not only secures one victory after another but also keeps their goal intact despite significant personnel issues in the goalkeeper line. Secondly, Lazio will be without two key attacking players - Valentin Castellanos (9+3) and Mattia Zaccagni (8+6). Without them, Marco Baroni's side will find it much harder to break through the opponent's solid defense. Furthermore, in a few days, the team from Rome is set to face Czech side Viktoria, who still have a chance to advance to the next round of the Europa League. It's possible that the coaching staff of the "Eagles" might rest some of their leaders - this scenario should also be considered. Therefore, we would not be surprised if the match ends, for example, with a score of 1-1.
