Mid-table Udinese could look to spoil fourth-placed Lazio's plans of confirming their top-four spot in Serie A this Sunday. This match will see the 12th-placed hosts look for some pride. With no chance of finishing in the top-seven and safe from relegation, all that remains for Udinese is to see out the season. They can still finish inside the top ten for the first time since 2012/13 but are three points behind Fiorentina. Crucial for those hopes though, would be to get back to winning way. They lost 2-0 to Fiorentina in their last match  but that was an away fixture. Udinese have won just two of their last eight league matches, losing four and drawing two. Playing at home makes it much better though, with the hosts unbeaten across eight league matches here.

This could be a tricky fixture for Lazio, who are still looking to confirm their top-four spot. They could do that this weekend with a win here and defeat for Milan against relegated Sampdoria. If they maintain a three point lead over sixth placed Roma, that'd be fine too. Lazio are ahead of them on head-to-head-results so Roma wouldn't be able to finish above them with just two games remaining. However, their recent form is not great with only four points earned from their last five league games. They needed a late goal to rescue a point last weekend at home to Lecce. Nine away league games have been won this season, they'll be desperate to make it ten this weekend.
