Udinese vs Lazio Form
Udinese are yet to taste defeat, following that opening-day draw with Como with a 3-2 win over Monza. The Friulians backed it up midweek by knocking Venezia out of the Coppa Italia. Counter attacks and attacking set pieces are their obvious strengths, and Keinan Davis is set to reclaim his spot leading the line.
Lazio arrive with a spotless league record, having won their last three matches in Serie A. Gennaro Gattuso's men saw off both Bologna and Genoa 1-0, each by that familiar one-goal margin. They attack down the wings and are strong at protecting a lead, with Andrea Pinamonti leading a front line flanked by Mattia Zaccagni and Gustav Isaksen.
