Udinese have been unable to recover their momentum since the international break, suffering a 2-1 defeat away to Torino in their latest outing.
That result extended their Serie A losing run to four matches, their longest such sequence since April 2025, when they lost five in a row.
With only four points collected so far, Kosta Runjaic’s team sit narrowly above the relegation zone, separated from 19th place only by goal difference.
The pressure is increasing on the Udinese manager, particularly as his side are still searching for their first home league win of the campaign.
They have recorded one draw and two defeats at the Bluenergy Stadium and are now without a victory in their last four Serie A home matches.
On the other hand, Lecce are hardly in a comfortable position themselves, having collected only two more points than their opponents, with two wins and four defeats from six league games.
Their latest setback came in a 2-1 loss to Bologna, which marked their fourth defeat in five Serie A games.
Their away record also raises serious concerns ahead of the trip to Udine, making this encounter a difficult one for them.
The visitors have lost three of their four competitive away fixtures this season and failed to score in all three defeats.
Lecce will need to show greater attacking intent if they are to take advantage of Udinese’s poor form and secure a valuable result on the road.
