Betting on Lecce
Lecce has become one of the worst teams in Serie A during the second half of the season, and if it doesn’t turn its performance around next season, we’ll see the team back in Serie B.
Under the guidance of Marco Baroni, not only does Lecce have eight winless games, but it has also earned only one point in that period, losing seven times, and drawing with Sampdoria in the last two games.
This situation puts the newly promoted club in a very delicate position, as it currently holds 16th place with 28 points, just two points ahead of Verona, which is in the last spot that grants a ticket to the second division.
Although Lecce’s defense has not been as poor as its colleagues in the lower part of the standings, the Giallorossi share the same offensive weaknesses. With 26 goals scored, it is the third-lowest scoring team in Italian soccer. Besides, in the last eight matches, Lecce has only scored three times.
Regarding its home performance, Lecce has earned more points away than in front of its fans. After 15 home games, it has only earned 13 points out of 45 possible, and it has not won at home in the last seven games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Wladimiro Falcone; Valentin Gendrey, Federico Baschirotto, Samuel Umtiti, Antonino Gallo; Alexis Blin, Morten Hjulmand, Youssef Maleh; Gabriel Strefezza, Assan Ceesay, Federico Di Francesco.
Betting on Udinese
With a mix of wins, losses, and draws, Udinese is comfortably standing in the middle of the standings, with no real chances of accessing any European spot for the next season.
Although Udinese had its best start in the history of the club, the draws gradually diminished its hopes for a significant season, to the point where it shares the lead for the most draws in Serie A with 12.
The mixed results place the team in the tenth position of the standings with 42 points (10 less than Atalanta in the Conference League spot). Actually, in the last 10 matches, Andrea Sottil’s team has achieved three victories, four draws, and three losses.
As an away team, Udinese is also in the league’s average. It has earned 19 points out of 48 possible, holding the tenth position in the Italian soccer. However, its last six away matches have not been so positive, losing four of those games.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri; Nehuén Pérez, Jaka Bijol, Rodrigo Becao; Walace, Sandri Lovric, Lazar Samardzic, Kinglsey Ehizibue, Destiny Udogie; Roberto Pereyra, Isaac Success.
JefeBet Prediction
The Serie A kicks off this Friday with a Lecce vs Udinese match that is expected to be tight and low-scoring.
Lecce has one of the worst offenses of the season, and this doesn’t change much at home. However, its number of goals conceded is not very high, and 22 of its 31 matches played this year ended with two goals or less.
On the other hand, Udinese can have very good or very bad games, which usually happens when it plays away. In fact, it has lost four of the last six away games, and has scored only 15 goals in 16 matches played in this condition.
Moreover, five of the last seven matches between these teams ended with two goals or less on the scoreboard. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict that there will be few thrills at the Stadio Via del Mare.
Prediction: Under (LEC 1 – UDI 1).
