Team News

Lazio
Udinese
  • Lazio are likely to be without striker Ciro Immobile until the end of the month after he left the pitch early against Chievo.
  • His natural replacement Felipe Caicedo is also injured, which means one of Felipe Anderson or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will play as a false nine.
  • There are the usual problems on the flanks as both Ali Adnan and Silvan Widmer are yet to return to full fitness.
  • Jens Larsen will play on the right, while Giuseppe Pezzella will move out to the left.

Prediction

  • Lazio are unbeaten in their last five games, in which they have obtained 11 points. Their victory against Chievo put them back into third and they can open up a three-point gap on Inter here.
  • A lot has changed at Udinese since this game was postponed: after Maurizio Oddo replaced Luigi Delneri, the Friulani have won six of their last eight. Back-to-back draws suggests that they may have lost some of the new manager bounce, but they will probably be able to claim some big scalps before the end of the season.
  • As two of their strikers are out, Lazio's attacking options are thin on the ground ahead of a midweek game that was not supposed to be played this week. They may have been penalised by the postponement of this game, as getting points against Udinese has become harder in recent weeks.

  • The ones who voted Immobile Man of the March are very well informed about this game. Lool!

  • @Gambino78 lol

  • Both teams to score seems very likely.

  • Immobile is injured , Lazio will not win today

  • Lazio has a history of playing successfully against Udinese and are also in fine form. Their only problem in this game should be the absence of Immobile, but as we saw against Chievo it was not that big of a deal. As for Udinese, I think their recent good form is to be counted on the change of managers, not so much on a spectacular football or something... In my opinion - Lazio win.

  • BTTS and x2. PS. Those voting for Immobile as MOtM -->> ^.^

  • udinese +1

  • @tarvos What do you mean by +1?

  • Udinese gets a +1 goal lead, so if the game ends in a draw, Udinese still wins the bet :)

  • Udinese will manage to draw if Adnan plays today

  • Lazio win and BTTS

  • Lazio WIN!

  • GG safe. January 24th 2018

  • @Sir_Shay ?!

  • Postponed because each and every time it rains a little bit in Rome, it ends as an apocalyptical flood. Unworthy of a european capital. Fourth world standards.

  • @BeautifulLoser Are you saying they built Rome in the wrong location?

  • @Fromhell he said they built Olympico stadium in the wrong location

  • @Cannavaro69 Yeah, I was just trying to be "funny". Rome wasn't built in a day, Stadio Olimpico could have been xD

  • @Fromhell lol
