Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
Lazio
Match Time & Date:

17:30
Prediction: 2-1
Udinese
A spot in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be at stake when Lazio and Udinese face each other at Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening. The Biancocelesti quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Inter, with the team rolling over Salernitana in their last Serie A game, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win the Italian Cup clash. All Acerbi, Akpa Apro, Anderson, Basic, and Radu are sidelined with injuries, but Maurizio Sarri can count on key players for the Coppa Italia game.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Lazio by rolling over Crotone 4-0 at home ground, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. Defender Rodrigo Becao is back from the Serie A ban for the visiting team.

Born in Valdagno, Italy on November 29, 1993, Manuel Lazzari is a midfielder who plays for Serie A side SPAL. Lazzari played for the youth teams of Montecchio Maggiore at the start of his football career and in 2011 he moved to Delta Rovigo.
After spending the 2011/2012 season at the club, Manuel Lazzarri joined Giacomense in the summer of 2012 and it has to be noted that he made 24 appearances in the league for the club.
