Lecce
- Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have struggled of late, winning none, drawing one and losing four of their last five Serie A games, and they are without a win in their previous two home matches against Udinese (D1, L1).
- Lecce are a patient, possession-based side who like to overplay their opponents by creating wide overloads and using their full-backs to provide width and depth when they can’t break through the defensive line.
Udinese
- Kosta Runjaic has brought a different kind of structure and pragmatism to Udinese since joining the club in June 2024, but they have still been successful in making a mark on Serie A and currently sit just outside the European places.
- He has overseen some excellent results recently, including a 3-1 away win over Hellas Verona and a 1-0 home victory against Roma in the last month, while Udinese also beat Lecce 3-2 at home in Serie A three months ago.
Head-to-Head
- Udinese have won four of their last five games against Lecce, with one draw.
- Udinese have won three of their last five Serie A matches, losing just one (D1, L1).

Betting Insights
- Under 2.5 goals is 1.45, but that is still our main play.
- Udinese have won five of their 11 away games in Serie A this season, scoring 1.27 and conceding 1.64 per game on average.
- They will be the slight favorites at 2.68 in the game result market, while Lecce are 2.85 and the draw is 2.88.
Prediction
With their superior form, away record and head-to-head record, we think Udinese will edge a cagey match on Sunday.
