Lazio’s search for consistency will see them start the calendar year with a trip to Udinese. This matchday 19 will be played at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 15th with 17 points while the visitors are 9th with 27 points. Udinese start this round just three points above the bottom-three, but recent form suggests they may have found their groove. The hosts won 3-0 against Bologna last time out, making it an unbeaten three-game run with the other two being draws. In fact, going further back, Udinese have lost only two of their last 12 league games – winning two and drawing eight. Those draws are a constant theme at home where Udinese have won one and drawn five of their last six home league matches.

Lazio start this round four points behind top-four places and are gunning to improve their consistency. The Capital side defeated Frosinone 3-1 in their last league game of 2023, which was a second win in a row. In fact, they had five wins across their last eight matches in all competitions with two wins intertwined in-between. The league form is slightly better with three wins and a draw across their last five matches. It is their away form that is of any concern as they continue to be inconsistent on the road. Lazio have lost four of their last seven away league games, with only two wins in that sequence.
