Lazio Roma vs. Udinese Calcio
While the Bundesliga takes a break during the week, the next matchday is already being played in other European leagues. This is also the case in the Italian Serie A, where it comes to the clash between SS Lazio Roma and Udinese Calcio, among others, on Thursday evening at 20:45.
The hosts will not have fond memories of their last home match against Udinese. After five consecutive home wins against Udinese, Lazio found themselves 3-0 down after 71 minutes on that day in November 2020. The late goal to close the gap to 1:3 could not prevent the defeat. Our Lazio vs. Udinese betting tips now tell you whether we think the visitors in Rome can win the next game and what we think about this match.

Lazio -Udinese Tip
In the table, both teams currently find themselves in midfield. Lazio are in eighth place with 21 points, Udinese are currently in 14th place with 15 points. While Udinese should not be entirely dissatisfied with this, Lazio are definitely lagging behind their own expectations. Last season, the Romans had the same number of points on their account, but in the four years before that, it was always more. Against Udinese, the Biancocelesti will now be looking to take a step in the right direction after two straight defeats.
Lazio Form & Balance Check
After a very decent start to the season and only one defeat from their first six games, Lazio Roma have suffered an unusual number of setbacks as the season has progressed. Maurizio Sarri’s team is extremely difficult to beat at home, but Ciro Immobile & Co. can hardly get anything going away from home. On matchday 1, the Romans won 1:3 at Empoli – since then, they have only managed a measly two points from six away games. Among others, Lazio lost 3-0 at Bologna and 4-1 at Hellas Verona
Lazio with two faces
The good results at the Stadio Olimpico have at least somewhat offset the poor away performances. In the first six home games, the team scored 16 out of a possible 18 points, almost the full haul. In the last home game against Juventus Turin, theBiancocelesti finally suffered their first defeat in front of a home crowd, before Lazio were thrashed 4-0 in Naples last weekend. This was the first time this season that they had lost two games in a row. Against Udinese, the third defeat in a row must be averted.
Lazio facts & Analysis
21 points from 14 games
– Lost 4-0 at Napoli last time out
– Only one win away from home
– At home 16 points from a possible 21
Udinese Form & Balance Check
The visitors from Udinese are playing a very mixed season so far. Starting with seven points from their first three games, it initially looked as if Luca Gotti’s side could become one of the surprise teams of the current season. However, this impression quickly faded afterwards. Three defeats in a row followed before Udinese drew four in a row. In the penultimate home game against Sassuolo (3:2), the long awaited third win of the season was finally achieved.
Is Udinese sliding down the table now?
However, things haven’t really gone well recently, with a 2-1 defeat at Torino and a 0-0 draw against eighteenth-placed Genoa. Even if Udinese seem to be strong enough overall to have nothing to do with the relegation places, the alarm bells should be ringing slowly but surely. Without the strong start to the season and the seven points from the first three games, Udinese would already be in the bottom of the table. The team around ex-Hamburger Tolgay Arslan would be well advised to finally achieve some success in the next few weeks.
Udinese Facts & Analysis
– 15 points from 14 games
– Last played 0:0 against Genoa
– Only 8 points from last 11 games
– Winless away from home for 5 games
Predicted line-up – last update on 30 November 2021
Centre-back Luiz Felipe is missing for Lazio Roma due to a yellow suspension. Kostas Manolas is expected to play in his place. Adam Marusic is out with a Corona infection.
Roberto Pereyra is likely to miss out for the visitors. Ex-Leipzig player Lazar Samardzic could play in his place. Otherwise, we don’t expect any changes.
