Our predictions for Udinese vs Lecce
Match Prediction: Udinese 2-1 Lecce
Udinese's recent form suggests a team struggling to find consistency, with two draws and two losses in their last four matches. Their inability to convert draws into wins, particularly at home against Cagliari, indicates a potential vulnerability in their attacking play. However, their victory against Pisa away from home shows they can be effective on the counter. Against Lecce, Udinese will need to exploit any defensive lapses to secure a win.
Lecce, on the other hand, have shown resilience with a draw against Sassuolo and a win against Parma. Their recent losses to Cagliari and Atalanta highlight a struggle against stronger teams, suggesting they might find it challenging to break down Udinese's defence. Lecce's ability to score against Bologna indicates they can be dangerous, but their inconsistency might hinder them in this match. Expect a closely contested game with Udinese likely to edge it.

Udinese
