Udinese vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (24 August)

Having just maintained last season with two lengths ahead of the first-relegation place in this case, Frosinone, Udinese hopes to do better this year and its J1 result on the lawn of a Champions League opponent, Bologna, can allow him to believe it 1-1. We will even recall that the victory escaped from the tip of Thauvin's foot who saw the opposing goalkeeper stop his penalty after the hour of play. Moreover, this same penalty repelled by the goalkeeper led to the corner of the equalizer . Note that before the start of the new championship campaign, the Bianconeri made the coffee in the 1/32 final of the Italian Cup by brilliantly defeating the 3rd division club, Avellino 4-0 and they will challenge Salernitana in 1/16th final. On the other side of the median, we find the Roman club Lazio who had no mercy on the promoted Venezia during the first day by winning with a nice score 3-1.

This year, Lazio hopes to enter the Champions League race. Recall that last year she finished with 61 points and qualified for the group stage of the Europa League. In a state of grace, if we count the preparation matches during the summer and the end of the last season, the evening visitors remain on a series of 16 matches without the slightest defeat in all competitions combined. Their last setbacks date back to April 6, a championship evening, against rival AS Roma 1-0.

Having just arrived from Inter Milan, Alexis Sanchez, once expected to return to OM, has finally opted for Udinese but will have to wait to evolve under his new colors (glitch). During J1, Deulofeu (2 goals, 6 assists last season) was missed (injury) and this could be repeated this evening. Ditto for Pizarro (recruit from Colo Colo in Chile) and for the young Danish Thomas Kristensen (26 appearances in SA last season). To talk about the transfer window, let's note that the monstrous scorer Russo (19 years old, 14 goals in 14 matches with the U19s last year) has decided to go and try his luck elsewhere while the midfielder Lazar Samardzic (6 goals, 2 passes last year) joined Atalanta on loan and the important Roberto Pereyra joined Greek challenger AEK Athens. Already loaned to Torino last year, Masina joined the club permanently while the crucial Walace opted for a return to the country (Cruzeiro). Loaned to Watford last year, Matheus Martins returned and then transferred for a good amount to Botafogo (10 million). The important Lucca (8 goals, 4 goals last year) and Joao Ferreira (absent during J1) signed permanently after a successful season on loan. Playing a quarter of an hour last weekend, we will have to watch the Dutchman Ekkelenkamp (Antwerp), who scored 5 pawns last year in the Jupiler League. Iker Bravo (Leverkusen), and Jesper Karlström (Lech Poznan) have signed as has Goncalo Esteves (Porto). As for the capital's players, we will have to do without the legend Ciro Immobile, who left for Besiktas this summer for a modest sum.

In addition, in the injury department, Mario Gila (21 appearances last season in SA) is in treatment and could remain there this evening. This is also the only major absence to be noted among the Romans. In the absence of Immobile, it was Zaccagni who inherited the armband and the latter scored against Venezia just like the striker Castellanos. In terms of arrivals during the summer, Matteo Guendouzi has definitely joined Italy (OM), Noslin (5 goals, 4 goals with Hellas Verona last year) has signed as has the Tricolore Tchaouna (Salernitana). Note the free arrival of Cristo from FC Barcelona while Dele-Bashiru Fisayo (Hatayspor), Nuno Tavares (Arsenal) and recently Boulaye Dia (Salernitana) arrived on loan. Lacking playing time at Fiorentina, Castrovilli opted for Lazio (returning at the end of the match against Venezia). Arriving freely this summer, Artistico was immediately sent on loan to Juve Stabia (SB). Following loan spells in recent years, boys like Fares (Panserraikos), Ruggeri (Salernitana), Cancellieri (Parma) and Fernandes (NAC Breda) have left again. Having left earlier this summer, the crucial Luis Alberto (Al-Duhail) and winger Felipe Anderson (5 goals and 6 assists in SA, Palmeiras) are no longer at the club.
