Lazio hosts Udinese in round 15 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, December 2nd at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Maurizio Sarri's team is in 8th position in the standings with 21 points after 14 rounds. Lazio gained six victories and three draws and suffered five losses. The results of the club leave contradictive impressions. The Eagles successfully play in the Europa League, and they have secured early promotion to the playoffs after defeating Lokomotiv Moscow away (0-3). The success in the European competition contrasts with the problems in the Italian championship. On November 20, Lazio failed to cope with Juventus at home (0-2), and the next round on November 28 brought an even more sensitive away defeat from Napoli (4-0).

Luca Gotti's team is in 14th position in the Italian Serie A standings with 15 points. The Black-and-Whites chalked up three victories, six draws, and five defeats in 14 rounds. Udinese cannot boast of any significant success in Serie A. Apart from the home victory over Sassuolo (3-2), Gotti's players have not been able to achieve success in the championship in the last 11 rounds. Last Sunday, the Little Zebras tied against Genoa at their native stadium (0-0). The hosts slightly surpassed the Genoese in scoring chances, but this did not give them dividends in the form of goals.
In recent years, Lazio has rarely experienced problems in head-to-head confrontations against the team from Udine. In 14 games in Serie A and the Italian Cup, the Romans lost to the Little Zebras only once. It happened in the match of the last championship on November 29, 2020 in the capital of Italy (1-3). Lazio took revenge in the away game on March 21, having achieved a minimal victory (0-1). Now the Eagles need to improve their situation in the Serie A standings. A home match against a not very strong opponent will come in handy for the Romans. They are obliged to score points in the upcoming game. The Romans perform well on their home pitch, losing only one out of seven games (against Juventus). Lazio has scored at least one goal in seven last home games against Udinese, and five cases have ended with at least two goals scored. For this reason, it can be assumed that the attack of the home team, led by Ciro Immobile, will leave no chance for the defense of Udinese.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win and Over 1.5 goals scored
