Lecce vs Udinese Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

I Bianconeri emerged victorious in their last meeting.

Lecce are all set to lock horns with Udinese on matchday 26 of the Serie A 2024-25 edition. The hosts are not having the best of the seasons. They are in the 15th place after having won only six of their 25 league matches so far. Udinese are in the 10th spot as they have won nine matches in the same number of matches.

Lecce were held to a draw in their last couple of Serie A matches. This led to dropping four points in two games. A win here can send them a couple of spots up on the table. For this, they have to step up and outplay the visitors Udinese.
