Match Preview :
This clash is important for both sides as they are competing in the race for a Europa League spot. Udinese are coming into this match in good form as they are now unbeaten in their last three games. And for the first time since 2013, they have managed back to back wins and will now aim to go for three wins in a row.
Meanwhile for Lazio, they go into this match knowing that they could go on their worst run of results this season - that is three games without a even if they get a point here. This will give Francesco Guidolin's Udinese confidence heading into the match, as well as a chance to avenge the 0-3 defeat suffered in Rome when they met earlier in the season.
Udinese who beat Parma last weekend was their biggest away win in the league all season. That win was all the more impressive considering the team were without Antonio Di Natale, but he is set to return from suspension for this crucial match.
Since winning four matches in a row in December and January, Lazio have never managed back to back wins. And since then they have won just two, one in February and one in March, and have yet to win this month.
Lazio's away form has been poot which does not seem good for their chances of playing in the Europa League next season. What they don't want to be reminded of is that of their last six matches to play, four of them are away from home.
And Vladimir Petkovic’s men lost to two early Juventus goals away from home in their last match and only came into the match in the second half. Now he will want his players to get off to a good start in this match. He will also remind his players that Udinese won the last time they met at the Stadio Friuli by 2-0.
