Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic insists they can handle a tough start to the new season.

The 2013-14 fixture list was drawn up today and the Biancocelesti face Udinese, Juventus, Chievo and Roma in the opening four rounds.

"It will immediately be a difficult test for us against Udinese," the Coach told Lazio Style Radio.

"It is positive news, as we will be fired up and motivated from the start to get the best possible result against a tough opponent.

"We have Juventus in Week 2 and, for one or the other, it will be the chance to take revenge."
