An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 14th place.
Lecce and Udinese should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It's quite the trip for Udinese when visiting Lecce as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
Lecce form and stats
Lecce's struggle is real here at Via del Mare with only 4 points collected from 8 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-4. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Lecce fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Spezia game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Lecce fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Via del Mare: A 2-3 defeat against Bologna (placed 9th). Heartbreak before that as Lecce lost 0-3 at Brescia's place.
Lecce's goalkeeper Gabriel was extremely busy against Bologna, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 12 saves.
Lecce are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. Lecce have conceded 16 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Udinese form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Udinese so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Udinese's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Udinese are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Serie A against Cagliari (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Juventus's place.
The attacking power of Udinese when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. For Udinese, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Lecce, 1 draw and 6 wins for Udinese. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 3 games.Top Goalscorers
