As the Serie A heats up, all eyes turn to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome for the anticipated clash between Lazio and Udinese on the 11th of March, 2024.
Both teams, facing their own challenges at this point in the season, are gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling encounter under the lights.
Lazio’s Likely Lineup Strategy
Lazio’s manager, Maurizio Sarri, faces a significant selection dilemma due to suspensions and injuries within his squad.
Key players such as Marusic, Pellegrini, and Guendouzi are sidelined due to suspensions, while Patric and Rovella are out with injuries. Despite these setbacks, Lazio’s attacking prowess looks formidable with Felipe Anderson, Immobile, and Zaccagni expected to lead the charge.
Sarri’s tactical flexibility will be tested as he must reconfigure his midfield and defence. With Guendouzi suspended, Vecino will likely return to the right midfield position, partnering with Cataldi and Luis Alberto in the centre, ensuring a blend of creativity and stability.

Udinese will likely stick to their 3-5-2 formation, with Okoye guarding the goal. The defence may see Joao Ferreira stepping up alongside Giannetti and Nehuen Perez due to Kristensen’s return from suspension.
