Udinese vs Lazio prediction 27.12.2025 | Serie A

Udinese approach this fixture with mixed form and statistical indicators. In 16 Serie A matches, they have recorded six wins, three draws and seven defeats, averaging approximately 1.06 goals scored per game while conceding around 1.69. This defensive vulnerability remains a clear concern heading into the match.

Recent form has been inconsistent, though not disastrous. A 5-1 defeat away to Fiorentina in their latest outing marked their heaviest loss of the season so far; however, Udinese were significantly hampered by playing with ten men for nearly the entire match following the dismissal of Maduka Okoye inside the opening ten minutes. That setback followed a sequence of alternating wins and losses, underlining their inconsistency - for instance, they defeated reigning Serie A champions Napoli just two weeks earlier.

From a squad perspective, Udinese face notable absences and suspensions that will disrupt selection continuity, particularly in defensive areas. As mentioned, Okoye will miss this match through suspension, while Hassane Kamara remains sidelined with injury.

Lazio’s statistical profile contrasts sharply with Udinese’s. So far this season, they have posted six wins, five draws and five defeats from 16 matches, reflecting greater balance in both results and league standing. Defensively, Lazio have been comparatively robust, conceding just 0.69 goals per game - considerably fewer than Udinese - and have registered several clean sheets in recent outings.

Their recent form includes a 1-0 victory over Parma, a goalless draw with Cremonese, and an unbeaten run spanning multiple matches. This sequence also features a 1-1 league draw with Bologna and an impressive Coppa Italia victory over AC Milan in the first week of December.

From a tactical standpoint, Lazio have demonstrated an ability to grind out results even when clear scoring opportunities are limited. That said, they have shown occasional inconsistency in away fixtures, suggesting this match may not produce a dominant performance on the road. Toma Bašić and Matteo Guendouzi remain suspended following their red cards against Parma and Bologna respectively.
