National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lazio or Udinese that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Lazio nor Udinese as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lazio form and stats
Lazio was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Coppa Italia.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Olimpico as Lazio have scored 28 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for Lazio against Salernitana the last match, as Lazzari and Immobile (2) were on target. Immobile, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the highest rated player for the side in that match, collecting a rating of 8.5 (out of 10). Immobile scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.
Heartbreak before that as Lazio lost 1-2 at Inter's place.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atalanta are coming to town in four days.
Lazio are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (28 goals in 10 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
Udinese form and stats
Udinese was sent out of Coppa Italia in the 4th round last season.There's been little loot from Udinese's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Serie A. Udinese only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
Udinese play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Juventus. Midfielder Arslan was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.34. Arslan hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 25 successful passes (of 28 total).
A loss against Atalanta was the result prior to that, in a Serie A home game.Udinese have another match away in just four days, a Serie A match vs Genoa. A hard timetable for the guests!
