Lazio Form
Lazio have hit excellent form towards the end of the season. In five games they have three wins, including against top sides Napoli (2:0) and Atalanta (2:1 on penalties). By beating Atalanta, the hosts reached the final of the Coppa Italia. Speaking of that match, we should single out Zaccagni, who finally ended his run without goal contributions. And most importantly, we cannot help but admire the young goalkeeper Motta, who saved four penalties in a row in the shootout.
Key numbers for Lazio:
Lazio are 10th for possession (50.5%).
Lazio are 11th for xG (37.6) and 10th for shots on target (4).
Lazio are 8th for points at home (26).
Potential Lazio Lineup (4-3-3):
Edoardo Motta — Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares — Toma Basic, Patric, Kenneth Taylor — Matteo Cancellieri, Tijjani Noslin, Mattia Zaccagni.
Unavailable: Nicolo Rovella, Samuel Gigot, Ivan Provedel (all injured).
Udinese Form
Udinese produced nothing last week in their match against relegation candidate Parma Calcio 1913 (0:1). The main reason was the absence of key forward Keinan Davis, without whom the attack did not function at all (1.13 xG). The Englishman's condition is being assessed daily, but even if he does recover, he is certain not to start.
Key numbers for Udinese:
Udinese are 14th for possession (45.3%).
Udinese play the fewest sideways passes in the league (3.2).
Udinese are 2nd for clearances (28.6).
Potential Udinese Lineup (3-5-2):
Maduka Okoye — Thomas Kristensen, Christian Kabasele, Oumar Solet — Kingsley Ehizibue, Jesper Karlstrom, Jakub Piotrowski, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Hassane Kamara — Nicolo Zaniolo, Arthur Atta.
Unavailable: Nicolo Bertola, Alessandro Zanoli, Jordan Zemura (all injured), Keinan Davis (doubtful).
