- Defense: Udinese have conceded four goals in three home league games so far this season, but Lecce are averaging just 0.67 goals per away game in Serie A 2026/2027.
- Form: Udinese are winless in three Serie A 2026/2027 home games (D1, L2), but Lecce have also struggled on their travels, winning one and losing two.
- Scorers: Hassane Kamara is Udinese's top scorer in Serie A 2026/2027 with two goals, while Vakoun Issouf Bayo has chipped in with two of their last six and Keinan Davis has three assists.
Mixed bag of results for Bianconeri and Giallorossi
Udinese Calcio are 13th in Serie A 2026/2027 with four points from five games while Lecce are a point higher in 12th with six, so this will be a close mid-table battle at Bluenergy Stadium – Stadio Friuli on Sunday.
The Bianconeri have had a mixed bag of form in their last five matches in all competitions with one win, one draw and three defeats. Their previous three results have seen them lose 0-1 at home to Cagliari, lose 5-3 at Internazionale Milano, and draw 1-1 with Pogon Szczecin in a friendly, so they have been all over the map.
Giallorossi have been just as streaky with the same record of two wins and three defeats in their previous five. A 1-0 loss at Cagliari was followed by a 3-2 home win over Monza and a 3-0 loss at AC Milan.
Cagey clash with few goals likely
Head-to-head
These two teams have split the last two Serie A meetings 1-1, but Lecce beat Udinese 2-1 at Via del Mare in Serie A 2025/2026.
Tactics
- Kosta Runjaic has his Udinese players set up in a compact 3-5-2/5-3-2 shell that relies on the wing-backs, vertical breaks and set-piece moments to score goals.
- Eusebio Di Francesco's Lecce are much more fluid, pressing aggressively in a 4-3-3 system and looking to overload the wings on the counterattack.
Markets
Udinese are the narrow favorites at 1.94 here, with Lecce at 3.8 and the draw at 3.45. We think the home side are more likely to nick this one, but it will be close and the odds look about right for a cagey game.
The Under 2.5 goals at 1.87 looks the cleaner wager in this spot where the sides may cancel each other out and the goal odds are just fine, but Udinese have not won in their three Serie A 2026/2027 games at the Bluenergy Stadium and Lecce have yet to win either of their last two away trips against Udinese.
