This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Udinese holding 14th place and Lecce lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lecce have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Udinese are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Lecce are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Udinese form and stats
6 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Udinese, who have the most clean sheets (13) in Serie A, have to build on here at Dacia Arena in the Serie A.
Udinese enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Cagliari's place. The match ended 1-0 with Stefano Okaka scoring. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Juventus.
Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso did an outstanding job against Cagliari with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Udinese as they are travelling to their away game against Sassuolo in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Udinese aren't scoring a lot here at Dacia Arena in the league, with only 17 goals from 18 games. On the other hand, Udinese have conceded 21 goals.
Lecce form and stats
Lecce, who have the most conceded goals (80) in Serie A, have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 4-3-11 (18 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Lecce have lost on their last two travels.
Lecce are travelling again after losing away to Bologna in their previous match (2-3). Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Brescia.
It's a bit worrying for Lecce that their goalkeeper Gabriel made seven saves in the Bologna game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Lecce in the Bologna match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
A new game in only three days for Lecce, the Serie A home match versus Parma. Busy days.
Lecce are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 20 away goals from 18 games (in the league). The Lecce manager F. Liverani has some worries about the defense as 43 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
