Udinese take on the visitors Lecce in the round 13 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, November 4th at Dacia Arena (Udine).
Udinese have long been only the middle peasants of Italian football. And they could only remember the times of Di Natale, with participation in the Champions League. So last season, changing mentor (started with Gotti, finished with Cioffi), finished in a modest 12th place. In the summer, another new mentor appeared in Friuli, and also a little-known specialist. The post was taken by Andrea Sottil, a good football player who is just starting a new round of his career. With him, the "zebras" became the breakthrough of the beginning of this season. More precisely, the start was just as expected mediocre: a defeat to Milan and a draw with Salernitana. But after that there were 6 victories in a row, including over Fiorentina, Roma and Inter. However, the results seem to have gotten worse. Draws with Atalanta and Lazio can be added to the asset. But then there was an unexpected relegation from the cup, from the modest Monza – while in September in Serie A they defeated them 2-1 on the road. This was followed by the defeat of Torino in their arena. And even with a modest newcomer, Cremonese, everything ended in a goalless draw in the last round.

Lecce returned to Calcio again. Not so long ago, it already worked out, but the “yellow-reds” spent only a year in the Italian football “elite”. It turned out to return according to the results of the last draw - at the level of Serie B, everything turned out great. But now Marco Baroni and his wards are having a hard time collecting points. They started with the defeat of both Inter and Sassuolo, and the first victory had to wait until mid-September. Then the "wolves", in the 7th round, managed to snatch 2-1 over "Salernitana". After that, the newcomer collected points through home draws, with Cremonese and Fiorentina, while losing to Roma and Bologna. Last Saturday, Lecce played against another club that fails in the fall - Juventus. He looked surprisingly decent, but in the end he still conceded the only goal after a beautiful strike by the young Fagioli in the 73rd minute.
The last time the clubs played each other was in 2020, when Lecce was last promoted to Serie A. Then the teams exchanged away victories. Bookmakers are confident that Udinese will win. But, taking into account the statistics of the last matches of opponents, it is worth stopping at “less than 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
