Lazio hosts Udinese in the Coppa Italia 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 18th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Lazio earned ten points in the last five rounds of Serie A. During this time, the Eagles suffered only one defeat. They lost to the reigning leader of the current season. And in the rest of the matches, regardless of their venues, it was not difficult for the Lazio players to score three goals against their opponents. It should be noted that the opponents of the Eagles were the teams from the lower half of the standings or even newcomers to the season. Lazio is located either in the European competition zone or not far from it. The men of Maurizio Sarri will start the fight for the Italian Cup from the 1/8 finals.

Udinese earned fewer points than Lazio but gained two victories with a score of 4-0. The Little Zebras tied against AC Milan, and they were leading from the very beginning of the match. The Red-Blacks managed to level the score only in added time. Then Udinese lost to Atalanta and Juventus. So far, it is difficult for Gabriele Cioffi's men to fight against opponents from the top six. In general, there is no particular difference for the Little Zebras where to score or concede goals. They played an equal number of home and away matches and conceded the same number of goals, while they themselves scored a little less at home than away. In the 1/16 finals, Udinese confidently dealt with Crotone (4-0).
I think that Lazio will win the upcoming game and advance to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. The Eagles have a more advantageous position in the standings and outrank their future opponent by fifteen points. Maurizio Sarri's men are currently inferior to the Little Zebras in only one indicator — they have a slightly higher number of goals conceded. In other respects, they are head and shoulders stronger than Udinese players. In addition, the Eagles gained three victories in the last five head-to-head matches, while their opponents won only once.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with -1.0 handicap
