Udinese vs Lazio Predictions

• Udinese’s last three matches have seen both teams score
• Lazio have created chances in their two wins so far, but they’re overperforming in terms of their xG against
• The last six head-to-head encounters have seen BTTS land

Can Lazio maintain their perfect start?

Lazio have won both of their matches under Gennaro Gattuso, but the former Italy boss can’t be hailed as a successful hire quite yet. The club rank midtable in terms of Expected Goals for and against so far, while they started the campaign with an embarrassing Coppa Italia exit to Mantova.

The Biancocelesti head to Udinese on Monday night, and the Zebrette have avoided defeat across their first four games of the campaign. They’ve claimed cup victories over Padova and Venezia, while they won 3-2 at Monza in Serie A after holding Como to a 1-1 draw.

Lazio have plenty of off-field problems in addition to their xG overperformance, while Gattuso’s track record doesn’t suggest the Biancocelesti will fare well under his watch.

However, Lazio have created chances in both games to date, and they meet an Udinese side that has seen both teams score in each of their last three matches. Each of the last six head-to-head encounters have seen both teams score, so back the two sides to find the net on Monday.
