- Venue: Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese will be looking to continue their strong home form this season when they play host to Lecce on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts lost to Inter Milan in their last home game but they have been largely successful at the Bluenergy Stadium this season. Kosta Runjaić's side opened their home campaign with a 4-0 win over Avellino and went on to win their next two home games, beating Lazio and Como in Serie A. I Giallorossi also beat Salernitana 3-1 at the ground in the Italian Cup and I will be looking continue that form this weekend.
Lecce meanwhile have had a mixed start to the season, with the Salentians beginning their Serie A campaign with sucessive defeats to Atalanta and Inter Milan. They conceded a total of six goals in that spell while failing to respond. Luca Gotti's side subsequently responded with a three-game unbeaten run, but were humiliated again last weekend in a 3-0 defeat to Milan at San Siro.
Udinese vs Lecce Betting Tips: Udinese to win & Under 2.5 goals
Lecce have one of the worst away records in this division this season. Luca Gotti’s men didn’t only failed to win all their three away games in the Italian top flight so far, but also failed to find the back of the net in as many games.
While each of the last four games of Udinese produced at least three goals, meetings between I Bianconeri and Lecce are known for being less entertaining and I fancy a similar encounter on Saturday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Udinese vs Lecce prediction: 1-0

Udinese’s injury list continues to grow longer as head coach Kosta Runjaić prepares for Saturday’s game against Lecce without up to six injured players.
Most notably among them is Kosta Runjaić who has barely played football in 2024 due to a knee injury that required surgery.
The other injury concerns are Alexis Sánchez, Damián Pizarro, Hassane Kamara, Martín Payero and Thomas Kristensen.
