Udinese vs Lecce  Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals / Lecce or draw

After completing eight games in the Serie A season, Udinese still struggles to secure a victory and finds themselves precariously close to the relegation positions.

Although it is still early in the campaign, the hosts’ streak of eight games without a victory puts them in a challenging position, indicating a potentially difficult season ahead as they fight to avoid relegation.

Udinese has demonstrated their resilience by earning five points and managing to avoid defeat in five out of their last seven matches.

Over the past year, Andrea Sottil’s team in Udine has had a consistently poor performance with only three wins recorded in 19 home league matches. Additionally, in six out of their eight most recent league games at the Bluenergy Stadium, there were fewer than 2.5 goals scored.

Although Lecce have had a promising start to their season, they come to Udine with only one point from their last three league matches.

The visitors were leading their hosts by seven points and currently ranked ninth in the division. They had accumulated 11 points from an undefeated streak at the beginning of the season. Additionally, Lecce has witnessed under 2.5 goals scored in five out of their last six Serie A matches.

Roberto D’Aversa’s team managed to secure draws in away matches against Fiorentina and Monza, but unfortunately suffered a close 1-0 defeat against Juventus.

It is highly probable that this upcoming match will be closely contested. In four out of the last five encounters between these teams, there were fewer than 2.5 goals scored. Additionally, Lecce has managed to avoid losing in their two most recent visits to Udine.

Considering the host’s lack of home wins, and Lecce´s decent start to the season, I expect the visitors to take a point or more in a game where under 2.5 goals is my primary pick.
