Lazio vs Udinese prediction 10.03.2025 | Serie A

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Monday, 10th March, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

Lazio have been among the best few teams in Italy for over a decade now, pretty much constantly securing Europe. This season, they are once again doing fine and are around their usual placement. Biancocelesti currently holds 5th place in Serie A with 50 points from 27 rounds - only two points away from fourth place and the Champions League spots. This year, Biancocelesti are doing a great job in the Europa League. In the last game, they beat Plzen (3:2) in the first leg of the EL 1/8 Finals and will have the second leg at Rome after the Udinese game. Currently, the bookies see them as the main candidates for the title, with the odds around 5.5. It will be interesting to see whether the Biancocelesti will rest some of their key players against Udine.

Udinese spent the previous 11 years in the bottom half of the league's table, nowhere near securing Europe. This season, Bianconeri started Serie A well from the start, and it was evident they are a lot better this year. Right now, they are in the 10th spot with 39 points from 27 rounds. Interestingly, that is already two points more than they won last year for the entire season, and there are still 11 rounds left. Bianconeri are in good form, but European spots are still eight points away, and they need to keep that good form rolling.

Lazio vs Udinese pick: Udinese to cover the +1 AH spread

Lazio are in OK form, with a 2-2-1 record in all competitions. However, none of those two wins were by more than one goal. If we take a look further back, Lazio won four of the last nine games, but just once by more than one goal difference, and it is unreal to expect a big win against an in-form Udinese.

Udinese are in fantastic form, as they are on a five-game unbeaten run. They won four out of those five games and even though they mostly faced weaker teams, it is still a good record. Moreover, in the last 11 games, Udinese lost twice and only once by more than one goal difference.

In the first h2h game of the season, Udinese won 2:1. Considering the previous h2h game, Udinese's fantastic form, and the fact that Lazio might rest some players for the EL game, we believe that the visitors can make this game close.
