Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following back-to-back draws with Monza and Cagliari, Lecce will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to five games when they take on Udinese on Monday. The Giallorossi are on the right track to mathematically secure the Serie A survival and one point from this match will see them meet the goal. Forward Roberto Piccoli serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Lameck Banda and Kastriot Dermaku remain in the recovery room.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but seeing that Lecce are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to bet on draw. All Marco Silvestri, Lautaro Giannetti, Florian Thauvin, Vivaldo, and Gerard Deulofeu miss out with injuries, while midfielder Sandi Lovric remains doubtful. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two teams.
Highlighted Team (Lecce):
When you imagine a yellow-red shirt, Lecce must be the first club that comes to your mind. Founded back in 1908, Lecce are Italian club that will compete in the Serie A in the 2019/2020 season. The Giallorossi return to the Italian top flight following a seven-year absence and, as always, they will host their rivals at Stadio Via del Mare.
The venue which was opened on September 11, 1966 can hold up to 33,876 people. The likes of Antonio Conte, Graziano Pelle, Javier Chevanton, Juan Cuadrado, Mirko Vucinic, Fabrizio Miccoli and Massimo Oddo are one of the most notable footballers who played for the Italian club in the past.
Lecce and Gallipoli face each other in the Salento derby and there have been fireworks in meetings between the two clubs since the 2009/2010 Serie B season when they first met in the league.
