Udinese and Lazio will lock horns with each other in Serie A this weekend. The match between I Bianconeri and I Biancazzurri will be held at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine and is scheduled to kick off at 5pm UK time on Saturday.

Udinese

Udinese are an established club in the Italian top-flight who tend to finish in and around mid-table as well as compete for the European places in the Serie A standings. I Bianconeri ended up 15th in the table in the 2023-24 campaign and did better last season.

Kosta Runjaic’s side ended up as high as 12th in the Serie A table last season and will aim to do as well, if not better, this time around. Udinese strengthened their squad with the signings of Arthur Atta, Lennon Miller, Adam Buksa and Nicolo Bertola, among others, in the summer of 2025. The Udinese-based club are 12th in the Serie A table at the moment with 21 points from 16 games.

Udinese will head into the Serie A game against Lazio in Udine this weekend on the back of a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina on the road in the league. It came after a 1-0 victory over Napoli in front of their fans in Serie A, which followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Genoa at the Bluenergy Stadium.

Team News:

Udinese are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Lazio. Razvan Sava will be in goal and will have Thomas Kristensen, Christian Kabasele and Oumar Solet in front of him in defence. Alessandro Zanoli, Jesper Karlstrom, Jakub Piotrowski and Nicolo Bertola will be the four midfielders. Nicolo Zaniolo and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp will be deployed in attacking midfield. Keinan Davis will lead the line for Udinese.

Lazio

Lazio are one of the biggest clubs in Italy who regularly challenge for the top four in the Serie A table and also feature in major European competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. Le Aquile finished seventh in the league table last season and are aiming to end up in the UEFA Champions League places this time around.

Maurizio Sarri’s side are eighth in the Serie A table at the moment with 23 points from 16 matches. Lazio are seven points behind fourth-placed AS Roma, and while winning the Scudetto is out of the question, they are still very much in the race for the Champions League places.

Lazio will head into the Serie A game against Udinese this weekend on the back of a goalless draw with Cremonese at Stadio Olimpico in Rome in the league. It came after a 1-0 win against Parma on the road in Serie A, which followed a 1-1 draw with Bologna in Rome in the league.

Team News:

Lazio are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Udinese. Ivan Provedel will be in goal and will have Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli and Luca Pellegrini in front of him in defence. Matteo Guendouzi, Danilo Cataldi and Matias Vecino will be the three midfielders. Matteo Cancellieri, Valentin Castellanos and Pedro will be the three forwards.
