Lazio form and stats

1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Lazio so far this season.

Lazio's last game was hosting Zenit and winning 3-1. A strong away win before that one, visiting Crotone and winning 2-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lazio's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lazio as they are travelling to their away game against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. That match is three days after this one.

The Lazio fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Udinese form and stats

The Serie A season is young and Udinese have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Udinese goalkeeper Juan Agustin Musso is eager to challenge this, with his 187 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Udinese failed to get anything from their last game, a Coppa Italia home match vs Fiorentina (after extra-time) (placed 15th) that ended with defeat 0-1. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Genoa in the Serie A.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Udinese playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Udinese as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Udinese have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: eight wins for Lazio, two draws and zero wins for Udinese. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
