Udinese vs Lazio Preview
Udinese are currently in 12th place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly inconsistent so far this season. The home side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Lazio, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this year. The Biancocelesti were held to a 2-2 draw by Lecce in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
