Lecce vs Udinese Live Stats & Betting Odds
Lecce Prediction – Can Lecce avoid third defeat on trot?
Monday night’s hosts, Lecce, will head into this upcoming clash against Udinese having suffered recent back-to-back defeats to Brescia and Bologna, so the hosts will be keen to at least avoid a third defeat here.
It’s just 3 defeats out of their last 10 matches though in Serie A for Lecce who currently occupy 16th place on the domestic top flight ladder, with 2 of these 3 defeats being inflicted upon them away from home at 3rd placed Lazio and Brescia.
Results at home though have admittedly been poor as they possess a record of 0-4-4 10/16 and are the only side in Serie A to still remain without a home win under their belts in this season’s campaign.
Lecce’s season started in wretched fashion at home as the hosts suffered 3 defeats on the trot to Hellas Verona, Napoli and Roma but they’ve since steadied the ship by losing just 1 of their subsequent 5 matches on home turf and have picked up 4 draws too.
Udinese Prediction – Can Udinese improve on the road?
Udinese ended a run of 5 matches without a win in the Italian top flight last time out when they secured a valuable three points in a 2-1 home win against Cagliari which has helped ease the visitors’ relegation worries for the time being.
The visitors now occupy 14th place in Serie A and hold a 3-point advantage over their Monday night’s hosts, Lecce, but this current league position is largely thanks to their reasonable form on home turf at their Dacia Arena so far this season.
4 of Udinese’s total of 5 league wins in Serie this term have been achieved at home while results away from home continue to be a major concern for manager, Luca Gotti, as his side have lost 6 of their 8 away matches to date amidst a poor record of 1-1-6 6/18.
Udinese’s one win on the road came in the shape of a 3-1 win at second from bottom club, Genoa, but having won just 3 of their last 24 matches on their travels in Serie A, this could prove to be another testing night away from home for Udinese.
Key-Facts – Lecce vs Udinese
- Lecce have lost just 3 of their last 10 matches in Serie A
- Lecce have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches at home in Serie A
- Udinese have won just 3 of their last 24 away matches in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
Lecce with home advantage should at least avoid defeat here and could steal a point.
