- Venue: Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli (Udine)
Last season was one of the worst for Udinese in the 21st century. However, they finished two points above the drop zone and avoided relegation. Udinese certainly shouldn't be among the worst Serie A teams, so the fans hope for a less stressful 2024/25 season. Last weekend, Kosta Runjaic's team opened the league competition with a 1-1 draw on the road against Bologna. The home side was dominant as they had xG of 3.11, while guests had only 0.89, but the teams still split the points.
Last season was disappointing for Lazio as seventh place was their lowest finish in the last five years. Unfortunately, most pundits don't see Lazio higher than that in the 2024/25 season, either. Marco Baroni's team had a fantastic preseason with five wins and two draws. Last weekend, in the Serie A opening round, Lazio won 3-1 at home against Venezia. The home side's big win was well deserved as they had ball possession and quality of chances on their side.
Udinese vs Lazio pick: Both teams to score - yes
Udinese scored at least one goal in eight of the last nine matches. On the other hand, Lazio scored at least one goal in each of the previous eight games. We should see both teams score in the game on Saturday evening in Udine.

Udinese team news
After a draw in Bologna, Udinese's head coach, Kosta Runjaic, was very satisfied. He said, "I am happy. Our first game and a point against a strong opponent. We expected a difficult game. We couldn't play the way we wanted to. In the first half, we conceded too many transitions due to our mistakes. We believed until the end, and we had a bit of luck, but we never gave up".
Thomas Kristensen is questionable, and he might skip the upcoming game against Lazio.

Lazio team news
Lazio Ultras are protesting against President Claudio Lotito because they feel the head coach, Marco Baroni, is a downgrade after Maurizio Sarri and Igor Tudor. After a win against Venezia, Baroni said, "I know that I have to prove myself. I keep telling the players to express the Lazio essence and to help each other out, being 11 bodies on the pitch and a single soul. That must never be lacking."
Lazio will be without injured Mario Gila on Saturday in Udine.
