Lazio vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
Marco Baroni's team favors an attacking style at home, focusing heavily on offensive play. This approach has yielded goals, as Lazio has failed to score in only one of their last 19 home league matches, scoring at least twice in 11 of those games. However, defensive errors have been an issue, with the team keeping a clean sheet in only two home matches this Serie A season.
Udinese is also not accustomed to sitting back, even in away games. They have failed to breach the opposition's defense in only three away matches this season, and in two of those instances, their opponents were strong teams like Roma and Milan. However, the team has kept only two clean sheets in 13 away matches this Serie A season.
I expect a high-scoring game from both sides, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
