Lecce is looking to continue their unbeaten streak by stretching it to five matches as they face Udinese on Monday. After consecutive draws with Monza and Cagliari, securing at least a point in this upcoming match will confirm their survival in Serie A for another season. They will be without forward Roberto Piccoli, who is suspended for a game due to yellow card accumulation, and both Lameck Banda and Kastriot Dermaku are sidelined due to injuries.
Udinese, meanwhile, is striving to climb out of the relegation zone. However, given Lecce’s strong home record, a draw seems a likely outcome. Udinese has several players unavailable due to injuries, including Marco Silvestri, Lautaro Giannetti, Florian Thauvin, Vivaldo, and Gerard Deulofeu. Additionally, midfielder Sandi Lovric might not play as his condition is uncertain. It’s noteworthy that recent encounters between these two teams have generally been low-scoring, with fewer than 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches.
The game is expected to end in a 0-0 draw.
