Command Analysis
Udinese
Current form
Udinese does not show an outstanding game in the Italian championship and is a typical average player in Serie A. After a draw with Como (1:1) and a victory over Monza (3:2) in the first two rounds, the black and white caught a crisis and lost in four rounds in a row. The team is on the 15th line in the standings with four points behind them and is ahead of the danger zone in additional indicators. A loss of points can throw a team back into the relegation zone.
In the last round, the wards of the German specialist Kosta Runjic lost 1-2 to Torino. The first half ended in a 1-1 goalless draw, but Udinese missed the second goal in the 67th minute of the match and could not win back. Earlier, the team could not cope with Cagliari (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Bayo, Zagnolo, Abanequa and Gaye will not enter the field.
Interesting betting trends
Udinese concedes an average of two goals
Black and white have not lost in four consecutive games to an opponent on their own field.
Approximate line–up: Okoye – Bertola, Sole, Eboss, Vojvoda - Karlstrom, Kamara, Ekkelenkamp, Chakvetadze, Miller – Davis.
Lecce
Current form
In the Italian Serie A, the fight has just begun and while Lecce is not showing a very confident game, it suffered four defeats with two wins from the start. At this stage, he has six points and 13th place in the standings with a two-point lead over his opponent. The team's performance is low, with only six goals scored, but defensively everything is not so smooth and 12 goals were conceded in six rounds.
In the last round, wolves played on their own field against Bologna and could not beat the opponent. The match ended 1-2, with Lecce conceding a goal in each half. Earlier, the wards of Eusebio di Francesco defeated Milan (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Ilic and Berisha will miss the game.
Interesting betting trends
Lecce has scored an average of one goal since the start of Serie A.
Wolves have not scored in the last four out of five games in the first half.
The opponents at the start of the Serie A do not look very confident. The bookmakers make the hosts the favorite, and we will give preference to Udinese. Wolves are not performing well in away matches and were able to win only one of the last three games of the Italian championship, and in the last face-to-face confrontation in Udine they could not beat the black and white. Runjic's wards are fighting a fierce battle in the battle of the outsiders, they have no right to misfire in their native penates and reserves the chance to complete a series of four defeats in a row. We believe that everything is in the hands of the zebras, who will use their field and earn three precious points.
Prediction – Udinese win with a coefficient of 1.87
The hosts have the task of breaking away from the danger zone and will take the game into their own hands from the first minutes of the meeting. Udinese has been playing attacking football lately, and matches often turn out to be productive – four of the past five black-and-white games have been completed with a total of more. Recall that in the last face-to-face confrontation in Udine, the rivals scored five goals between them. We believe that it's probably worth counting on a scoring extravaganza.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.02
Betting on corners
Udinese will play number one, they will not forget about defense, and at the same time they will impose a difficult struggle on Lecce. In the last three black-and-white games, more than 10 of the five corners were served, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
