Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Lazio and Udinese. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
Lazio manager Andrea Stramaccioni had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Football Italia): "Lazio have collected less than they've produced in the first three rounds of the championship. They were punished by counterattacks in Milan. Against Genoa, they were impressive in the first half and the Rossoblu's [goal]keeper was brilliant. They were also unlucky with the three substitutions and the red card for Stefan de Vrij. Lazio have played some the best football so far this season and this will be a game with the high degree of difficulty for us."
