Lecce take on the visitors Udinese in the round 36 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 13th at Stadio Via del Mare (Lecce).
Three rounds before the end of the championship, Lecce is positioned seven points away from the relegation zone, just ahead of Udinese by those seven points in the table. This means that a draw would suit the "yellow-reds" in this match. Based on this fact, bookmakers believe in the victory of the hosts even less than in the success of the guests. Hm..., in my opinion, it's debatable, but alright. I don't rule out any outcome, but at the very least, one of the leakiest teams in the championship, Lecce, should score a goal. In four Serie A rounds in a row, Lecce has disappointed its opponents: victories over Empoli (1-0) and Sassuolo (3-0), draws with Monza (1-1) and Cagliari (1-1).

If Lecce can secure their place in the league for another year after this round, then Udinese still has the entire fight for survival ahead. And every point is worth its weight in gold for the "little zebras" now. Currently, the "black and whites" occupy the third position from the bottom of the table, leading the list of teams in the relegation zone. They are two points behind Empoli and Frosinone, three points behind Cagliari, and four points behind Verona. Udinese also hasn't had any trouble scoring goals lately. They have scored in seven out of nine recent championship matches. Recent examples include draws with Bologna (1-1) and Napoli (1-1), as well as defeats to Inter (1-2) and Roma (1-2).
Fortunately, Udinese's opponent in this round isn't among the top teams, so they can score against them even away from home. Moreover, it's unlikely that the hosts will be left without goals in this match. The "little zebras" will have to attack with great effort and openness, which the "wolves" can take advantage of at least once. I believe that in this match, we can witness an exchange of precise shots for a magnificent coefficient of around 2. My prediction - Both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
