Udinese vs SS Lazio

Serie A's third round wraps up on Monday night with two in-form sides colliding, as Lazio try to continue their best start to a season since 2012/13 and Udinese aim to stay unbeaten under Kosta Runjaic. Udinese drew with Como before beating Monza 3-2, with Hassane Kamara and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp among the scorers. Lazio, now under Gennaro Gattuso, have ground out 1-0 wins over Bologna and Genoa, both settled by summer signing Davide Frattesi. Udinese are missing Nicolo Zaniolo and Giorgi Chakvetadze, though Christian Kabasele returns from suspension, while Lazio remain without Patric, Adam Marusic and Nicolo Rovella. Both league meetings last season ended level, and Lazio still haven't beaten Udinese in five attempts, a trend that could hold given how evenly matched these two look right now. Our prediction: 1-1.
