Udinese host Lazio at the Bluenergy Stadium – Stadio Friuli on Monday evening, with kick-off at 18:45 UTC, in the third round of the Serie A regular season. The visitors arrive in the top third of the table, while Udinese sit mid-table, with two points separating the sides.
Lazio come into the match in strong form, having collected 13 points from their last five matches. That run includes three consecutive wins, with victories over Genoa, Bologna and Cremonese in their most recent outings. They have played two matches this season, winning both, and accumulating six points, with a goals record of 2-0.
Udinese's start to the season has been steady rather than spectacular. After two matches, they have one win and one draw, with four points on the board. Their recent form across five matches tells a more varied story — a draw with Como, a win away at Monza and a loss to Parma also feature — though they have taken eight points from those five outings.
The head-to-head record between these two sides adds texture to the fixture. The most recent meeting, played on 27 April 2026, ended 3-3, a result that saw both teams share the points in a high-scoring encounter. Before that, a match on 27 December 2025 at Udinese finished 1-1. Neither side has managed a win over the other across those two most recent encounters.
Udinese's home record this season includes a 1-1 draw against Como in their opening home fixture. Lazio have won both of their matches so far, posting a goals record of 2-0 across the two. The two points currently separating the clubs in the Serie A table set the stakes plainly for Monday's encounter.
