Tight mid-table clash at Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese Calcio are 13th in Serie A 2026/2027 with 4 points from their first 5 games, just two points behind Lecce, who are 12th with 6.
Kosta Runjaic's men look slightly more likely to win on Sunday, but the odds (Udinese 47/50, Lecce 14/5, draw 49/20) are all out of kilter for a match that should be close and cagey.
Udinese are winless in three at home in Serie A 2026/2027, picking up 1 draw and 2 losses, but Lecce have won once and lost twice on the road this term.
Udinese are a defensive team that play in a compact 3-5-2/5-3-2 shell and Lecce are more fluid in a 4-3-3, so the wings and counter-attacks will be key.
Lecce can cause damage with counter-attacks
Runjaic has set up Udinese, but the Bianconeri have conceded four goals in their three home league matches so far - suggesting a leaky backline that can be picked apart. Lecce are pressing aggressively and could overload the flanks in transition. Hassane Kamara is Udinese's top scorer with two in Serie A 2026/2027, but Vakoun Issouf Bayo has two of their last six and Keinan Davis has three assists. Lassana Coulibaly is Lecce's main threat with two in Serie A 2026/2027 and two of their last three, while Danilo Veiga has supplied two assists.
Back under 2.5 goals in this Serie A clash
Lecce are a goalshy team on their travels, averaging just 0.67 goals per game in Serie A 2026/2027, so Giallorossi are not the most prolific away side.
Udinese's form is mixed to poor and so is Lecce's, but the Giallorossi have won one of their three away fixtures this season while the Bianconeri are winless at home.
Their most recent three results have seen Lecce lose 1-0 at Cagliari, beat Monza 3-2 at home and lose 3-0 at AC Milan, so they have been streaky.
That is why the draw at 49/20 is a touch shorter than it should be in what will be a cagey fixture between two teams that will probably cancel each other out, so we are taking under 2.5 goals at 87/100.
The head-to-head record between the clubs is 1-1 in the last two matches, but Lecce won the most recent meeting 2-1 at home in Serie A 2025/2026 and we can see them taking something from this fixture.
Lecce have failed to win in their last two away games against Udinese, but a point would represent progress for Eusebio Di Francesco's side and we will settle for that in the double chance market this weekend.
