Udinese vs Lecce: Who will end their poor run of form?
On Sunday, 18 October, we are in for a seventh-round Italian Serie A clash between Udinese and Lecce. The match kicks off at 12:30 CET, and I have a betting tip for this fixture.
Udinese vs Lecce: Match preview
Neither team is in the best form at the moment, and both have struggled to produce convincing results at the start of the Italian season.
Udinese made a fairly decent start to the new campaign, initially drawing 1-1 with Como before beating Monza 3-2. However, their results have deteriorated since then, with the team losing four consecutive matches. Last round, they suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Torino. As a result, Udinese currently have four points, a goal difference of 9:13 and sit 15th in the table.
Lecce have also struggled to deliver positive results in their recent matches. They won their opening game of the season but then suffered two consecutive defeats. They returned to winning ways in the fourth round, only to lose their next two matches. Last week, Lecce suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Bologna. The team currently have six points from six rounds and sit 13th in the table with a goal difference of 6:12.
