Bitesize Prediction: Udinese vs Lazio – 24/08/24

Competition: Serie A

Market: Lazio draw no bet

Odds: 7/10 @ BetUS

Looking to make it back-to-back Serie A victories on Saturday evening, Lazio will travel to the Bluenergy Stadium when they meet Udinese.

Starting with the hosts, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Udinese could be set for another struggle this time around. While the Little Zebras might have opened proceedings with a 1-1 stalemate away at Bologna last weekend, Kosta Runjaic’s men will be bracing themselves for a stern challenge when they return to the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday evening. Hit with a 2-1 defeat when they last welcomed Lazio to town back on January 7th, Udinese gained an unwanted reputation for their issues on home soil last season. In fact, the former Legia Warsaw boss has not seen his squad win any of their 10 domestic showdowns in front of their own supporters throughout 2024. With that hometown rut stemming all the way back to December 30th, Runjaic’s squad find themselves pencilled in as a real underdog contender this weekend.

As for the visitors, left frustrated large season as they eventually limped their way to a seventh-place finish among Italy’s elite, Lazio have their sights firmly set on securing a lucrative Champions League return this time around. Opening the 2024/25 campaign with a routine performance at the Stadio Olimpico as they claimed a 3-1 victory against Venezia, Marco Baroni’s new squad will be looking to make another Serie A statement here. Unbeaten in all of their final eight domestic appearances across all competitions prior to the summer break, the Eagles will also be excited by a dominant record at the Bluenergy Stadium. Including a 2-1 victory when they last travelled to Udinese back on January 7th, Saturday’s guests have collected 10 points from their previous four Serie A trips to the Little Zebras. Likewise, Baroni’s men are unbeaten in all of their last 11 straight trips to the Bluenergy Stadium – a run that stems all the way back to April 2013.
