Udinese v Lazio preview, kick-off time, line-ups and prediction | OneFootball

Lazio aim to extend their perfect Serie A start when they visit Udinese in the Matchday 3 finale on Monday. Kick-off is 20:45 local time at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine.

The Laziali notes that international TV listings are available.

Udinese edged Padova in the Coppa Italia opener, then began the league with a 1-1 home draw against Como. They followed up with a 3-2 win at Monza, courtesy of fine strikes from Hassane Kamara and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, to climb to seventh. Most recently, Vakoun Bayo’s brace completed a comeback against Venezia to reach the Coppa Italia Round of 16.

Lazio were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Montova, who won 2-0 at a subdued Stadio Olimpico. They responded with back-to-back league victories over Bologna away and Genoa at home, each by a single goal, with Davide Frattesi the match-winner on both occasions. They sit sixth on goal difference.

It is their first Serie A start with two wins since 2012/13 under Vladimir Petkovic. Lazio are winless in five against Udinese, the last three meetings ended level after two Friulian victories.

Probable line-ups, Udinese 3-4-2-1, Okeye, Abankwah, Kabasele, Solet, Vojvoda, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Kamara, Ekkelenkamp, Gomez, Davis. Lazio 4-3-3, Mandas, Floriani Mussolini, Doekhi, Provstgaard, Tavares, Frattesi, Belahyane, Taylor, Cancellieri, Pinamonti, Zaccagni. With both sides buoyant, this could be decided by fine margins, and Udinese’s midweek exertions might tell, giving Gennaro Gattuso’s men a slight edge if greater ruthlessness follows the arrivals of Andrea Pinamonti and Alfred Gudmundsson.
