Udinese prepares for a pivotal Serie A encounter as they travel to Rome to face Lazio at the historic Stadio Olimpico this Monday, April 27th. The crucial fixture, set to kick off at 19:45 and broadcast live on DAZN, sees both clubs vying for important points in the league standings.

Lazio, currently sitting in 9th position with 47 points, will be looking to capitalize on home advantage. Maurizio Sarri's side comes into the match following a 1-1 draw against Atalanta in the Coppa Italia 2025/26, a result they will aim to build upon in their Serie A campaign.

Udinese, positioned 11th with 43 points, seeks to bounce back from a recent setback. Kosta Runjaić's team suffered a 0-1 defeat to Parma in their last Serie A outing. This upcoming clash against Lazio presents a significant opportunity for the Friulian club to improve their league standing and regain momentum.

The previous meeting between these two sides concluded in a 1-1 draw, setting the stage for another closely contested battle. For Udinese, manager Kosta Runjaić will contend with several key absences. Nicolo Bertola is sidelined with a hamstring injury, Jesper Karlstrom is unavailable due to a yellow card suspension, and Alessandro Zanoli is out with a cruciate ligament tear.

Lazio's last starting XI against Atalanta featured Edoardo Motta in goal, with a defensive line of Adam Marusic, Alessio Romagnoli, Mario Gila, and Nuno Tavares. The midfield saw Kenneth Taylor, Toma Basic, and Patríc Gil, supporting forwards Matteo Cancellieri, Tijjani Noslin, and Mattia Zaccagni. Fans will be eager to see if Maurizio Sarri maintains a similar lineup for this Serie A fixture.
