Lazio comes into this after a 4-0 mauling at the hands of Napoli in their previous Serie A clash on Sunday night.
Mertens scored a brace while Zielinski and Fabián also found the back of the net.
Lazio have sustained successive losses against Juventus and Napoli putting pressure on Mauricio Sarri.
They remain in 9th place after that loss with 21 points from 14 matches; with an eye on improvement.
On the other hand, Udinese drew 0-0 against Genoa in their previous Serie A clash. Udinese is in 14th place wits 15 points this season; and are on a three-match winless run.
Both the teams are eying a change in fortunes but need to do so quick as the fixtures come thick and fast during the festive period.
