Head-to-head statistics Lecce - Udinese
Lecce Team Overview
Heavy defeats from Cagliari (1-4) and Inter (0-4) did not break the morale of Lecce's players; on the contrary, they helped them get back on the right track. After these setbacks, the team took to the football field three times and managed to earn points in all cases. Last weekend, the "Salentians" lacked a bit of precision in finishing their attacks, which resulted in only a draw in the match against Monza (0-0). After the 25th round, Marco Giampaolo's team is positioned 15th in the Serie A standings, distancing themselves from the relegation zone by 5 points. As for the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 3 players, including Lameck Banda, who is expected to return to the pitch soon.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
Udinese definitely earned a solid five for their performance in recent matches. While the team went winless in January (2 draws and 2 losses), they managed to collect 7 out of 9 possible points in February. For the match against Empoli (3-0), the "Little Zebras" even deserved the title of the best club of the 25th round of Serie A. Fabio Pecchia's team scored 3 unanswered goals, made 9 shots on goal against their opponent, and created 4 dangerous chances. Since the start of the championship, Udinese has accumulated 33 points and is positioned in the middle of the league table. As for the upcoming clash, the participation of 3 players is in question, but they can't be considered serious losses.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Lecce has two states: either the team concedes a lot, or they keep a clean sheet. Despite the fact that the "Salentians" have allowed their opponents to score 41 goals (only Verona and Parma have worse figures), Vladimiro Falcone has kept a clean sheet in 7 instances (seventh in Serie A). Certainly, most of his clean sheets came against weaker opponents and on their home ground. In this situation, one could consider the option of Udinese total goals under 1.5.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
Lecce does not have high numbers in terms of corners earned. The team takes corner kicks an average of 4.0 times per game and ranks only 18th in this statistical parameter, ahead of Monza (3.6) and Venezia (3.6). Moreover, the "Salentians" very rarely exceed the mark of 5 corners, so it would be reasonable to consider the option of Lecce total corners under 4.5.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, the upcoming clash is not so clear-cut. They couldn't determine a clear favorite for the match, and it's easy to agree with them on this matter. Both teams have gained good momentum, showing quality football, despite their playing styles being quite different. Moreover, both Lecce and Udinese are confident in their defensive lines. For instance, the "Salentians" have kept clean sheets in the last two Serie A rounds, while Fabio Pecchia's charges have not conceded in 3 of their previous 7 games. And yet, both teams are far from even mid-table status in the championship. Considering that the first-round meeting was not the most spectacular (1-0), the optimal betting option seems to be a total goals under 2.5. We dare to predict that the upcoming encounter might even end with a score of 0-0.
