Udinese will look to return to winning ways when they host Lecce in a seventh-round Serie A fixture on 18 October 2026.
Udinese are 15th in the table with four points from six matches. Their record stands at one win, one draw and four defeats, and they have lost their past two league games.
After a 1-0 defeat by Cagliari, the club suffered another setback against Torino, losing 2-1. Udinese are nevertheless listed as the favourites for the upcoming meeting, despite having lost four of their past five matches.
Lecce are two places higher in 13th, but their position remains precarious. They have recorded two wins and four defeats this season, leaving them only two points clear of the relegation zone.
The visitors have also struggled for results recently. They were beaten 3-0 by Milan before a 2-1 defeat by Bologna, meaning Lecce have lost four of their last five Serie A matches.
Key statistics
Both sides arrive at the match in poor form, although Udinese have been identified as the more likely winners.
The Friulians have lost four of their past five games, while Lecce have suffered the same number of defeats during that period. The most recent meeting between the clubs ended in a 2-1 victory for Lecce.
Prediction
The forecast is for Udinese to beat Lecce and secure a positive result in the match. The expectation is that the game will go in the favour of the Zebras.
