The Serie A weekend rounds off on Monday with two games taking place from the Italian top flight. Lecce host the first, and a good recent run has taken them away from the relegation troubles below. However, the same cannot be said for the visitors Udinese, they're in the bottom three, but within touching distance and have three games to escape.
Lecce Form GuideI think Lecce will be safe with the points they have, but could make completely sure of it here. They've gone on a four game unbeaten run when it has been needed the most, and while others haven't been too bad around them, Lecce have picked up more points, and kicked away from trouble.
The first two of those four games were wins, while the most recent two were draws. Last weekend they drew 1-1 away at Cagliari, before that, a 1-1 tie with Monza. There two wins have been 3-0 over Sassuolo and 1-0 over Empoli. Three of those four were against sides near the bottom, so Lecce delivered when games had added importance to them.
Udinese Form GuideUdinese are becoming desperate. In the bottom three with 30 points as we start the weeekend, but there's a group of teams above them that they are capable of chasing down. But they desperately need to find a win, draws are no good anymore, they've got just four all season, and are now seven games without a win.
The last two have both resulted in draws, to keep their points total ticking over. Last weekend they drew 1-1 with Napoli, before that, they drew 1-1 away at Bologna. Two good results, against good teams in the top half, but they just have to find a win from somewhere.
Match PredictionA big game for Udinese, who are becoming desperate, but they are struggling to win, and come up against a side in good form here. Put that together and I think Lecce can at least avoid defeat in this one, they look a good bet on the double chance market to cover a Lecce win or the draw here.
