Lecce take on the visitors Udinese in the round 32 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, April 28th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Lecce, under the guidance of Marco Baroni, last won a match in the Italian championship back in February. Since then, in seven Serie A games, they have only managed to score one point, drawing with the league's worst team, Sampdoria. As a result of this terrible period, the attractive team from the first half of the season has turned into a weak side, now sitting in 16th place in the table, just two points above the relegation zone. The motivation to win against "the wolves" is immense, but they haven't won in a while, so it's doubtful that they will emerge victorious in this match.

Udinese are a strong mid-table team in the championship. At the start of the season, the team looked great, sitting close to the Champions League zone in the table. Then, a predictable decline followed. However, it seems like Andrea Sottil's team has survived the crisis. Right now, Udinese is comfortably placed in ninth position, far away from the relegation zone. In the last seven rounds of the championship, the "little zebras" have only suffered two defeats. In this match, against a crisis-ridden opponent, they may not only draw but also win, even playing away from home.
Taking into account the current form of the teams, I am going for an X2 bet, as I don't believe in a home win. In 15 home matches in the championship, Lecce has only managed to win twice, with the last one being on January 4th. After that, Marco Baroni's side played seven Serie A matches at home, only managing to get three draws. Udinese hasn't been the best away side this season, but they have only lost twice in their last four away games. In the last encounter between these two teams, the "zebras" were stronger than "the wolves," winning 1-0. In the first round of this season, the teams drew 1-1. After that, Lecce and Udinese played a friendly match, which was won by Baroni's side (0-2). It's not worth expecting a victory from them now, as they are not in the right condition. The bet is X2.
Prediction for the match: Udinese not to lose (X2).
