Serie A, Monday, 10.03.2025 at 20:45
Lazio Roma are gaining more and more respect among betting fans and are well on their way to advancing to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
However, the team will not be able to cut back as hoped in Serie A this weekend.
Because according to my Lazio Roma Udinese betting tip, a very tricky task awaits. So tricky, in fact, that I wouldn’t be surprised if the “Biancocelesti” actually have to cede the full three points.
In recent weeks, Udinese have presented themselves as an extremely solid team and have steadily risen up the form curve. With 13 points from their last five games, they are one of the strongest teams in the league.
Their defense is particularly impressive, as the team has not conceded a goal in their last three Serie A matches. This is the first time they have managed such a run since February 2021.
It seems as if Udine have put their defensive problems behind them, which now gives the team the stability they need to survive even in difficult matches.
If the defensive bulwark remains as steadfast as it is now, there is a good chance that they will be able to hold their own even against strong opponents like Lazio. I’m a firm believer in this possibility!
Udinese are also doing well away from home. With three wins and two draws from their last six away games, they have a strong record for a mid-table club.
It is particularly noteworthy that they have also remained unbeaten in their last four head-to-head matches against Lazio (2 wins, 2 draws). This positive trend gives the team additional self-confidence, as it knows that it can hold its own in these encounters.
The attack has also stabilized in recent weeks and has been able to score the necessary goals at important moments. If Udinese continue this trend, they will bring down the “Biancocelesti” on Monday!
On the other hand, it is clear that Lazio have not always been able to produce convincing performances, despite a recent important win against AC Milan.
The 2:1 win put an end to a run of two draws and the season as a whole has been characterized by a number of weak phases – at least at national level.
Home form, for example, has shown major fluctuations in recent months. For a long time, the Romans were considered almost unbeatable in the Olimipico!
Of the last seven home games, they have only won two. It is precisely this inconsistency that could give a self-confident team like Udinese a further boost …
Despite all these setbacks, there are also positive aspects to Lazio. In the last game against Milan, the team showed that they can hold their own under pressure.
The late penalty was proof of their nerves of steel and could put the team back on track. If this attitude is maintained and they bring more consistency to their home performances, the chances of beating Udinese are good (even if I personally doubt it).
The hosts’ usual fast start to this game could be the key to securing control and weakening their opponents early on.
It’s worth noting that the “Biancocelesti” have already scored the first goal in 17 of their 20 Serie A games this season – a remarkable statistic that underlines their attacking strength.
However, my perception of Udinese’s great playing strength prevents me from suggesting an obvious bet along the lines of “1st goal: Lazio” at odds of around 1.65.
Instinctively, I’m telling you that this will be a game that could end 2:1 or 1:1.
That’s how four of the last six head-to-head meetings have ended, with the last two games – including the first-round match in August, of course – surprisingly going to Udine by exactly 2-1.
So don’t be surprised if the capital team actually drop points, as I assume they will.
Given the visitors’ brutally strong run, I therefore tend to go for the classic “Double chance X2” selection at odds of around 2.10.
Conclusion: It could be important for Udinese to remain calm and disciplined, especially in the first half. If the visitors can maintain their defensive stability and withstand Lazio’s pressure, they have a good chance of picking up another point or even three.
It will be interesting to see whether Lazio Rome can overcome their weaknesses at home and whether the visitors can build on their strong away form.
Personally, I’m expecting a 1-1 draw in the end, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the “Friualani” manage to come out on top again!
