Lecce vs Udinese Calcio Preview and Team News

Lecce Team News

Lecce are fighting for survival in 15th position on the Serie A log after 25 matches. They have six wins, seven draws, and 12 losses, totaling 25 points, five off the relegation zone. 

Recent form has been mixed, with two defeats, two ties, and one victory in their latest five outings in Serie A. Our predictions show that Lecce’s fight to regain some of their form and consistency in Serie A will continue into Friday’s clash against Udinese.

Jeppe Corfitzen and Filip Marchwinski are recovering from cruciate ligament tears, and central midfielder Joan Gonzalez is out due to heart problems. Left winger Nicola Sansone is out with an unknown injury.

The gaffer, Marco Giampaolo, will have to tweak his tactics to accommodate these absences in what is shaping up to be a crucial event in their fight for survival.

Lecce Predicted Lineup vs Udinese Calcio (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Gallo, Jean, Baschirotto, Guilbert; Pierret, Coulibaly; Morente, Helgason, Pierotti; Krstović.

Udinese Calcio Team News

Udinese head into this encounter, looking for some stability. With 25 Serie A matches played, they have 9 wins, 6 draws, and 10 defeats, totaling 33 points, which puts them in 10th on the table. 

In their latest fixtures, they’ve drawn once, won twice, and lost twice. However, they’ve been unbeaten in their previous three (two wins and a draw) and will be hoping to extend that streak.

Football predictions analysis on 22Bet reveals that Udinese’s coach has focused on instilling confidence and tactical awareness in his charges. Key players, such as Florian Thauvin and Loreno Lucca, are expected to play starring roles.
