The Bluenergy Stadium in Udine will host the Serie A fixture between Udinese and Lecce on Saturday. The home team have had a poor start to their season, which has left them in 11th position on the league tables. They have managed only one win in their last five games and recently played to a 1-1 draw against Cremonese last time out.
The Giallorossi, meanwhile, have also not had the best run of form but are unbeaten in their last three games in the league. Returning from the international break, they failed to build on their previous win and ended up playing a 0-0 draw against Sassuolo.

Udinese vs Lecce prediction: Host to nick a narrow win
Key statistics
- Udinese won by a 1-0 scoreline in their last two encounters.
- A first-half draw has been played in three of their last five clashes.

Correct score prediction: Udinese 1-0 Lecce
The previous meetings between Udinese and Lecce have not yielded many goals and we are tipping the host to claim a narrow 1-0 victory against the visitors.
In their last five competitive fixtures between these two teams, the Friulani have won by a 1-0 scoreline twice, which shows the games have been very tight. We expect Udinese to secure a crucial win and keep a clean sheet at home
