The push towards the end of the season continues as Serie A returns with a host of fun fixtures this weekend. There is still a lot to do to fight at both ends of the table and at least this campaign has taught us that there is still a lot of life in Italian football. Today we'll take a look at a clash between two of their lesser-known entities as Lecce take on Udinese on Friday night.
LecceAfter bouncing back into the top flight last season, Lecce would have hoped to solidify emphatically - improving on the last time they were promoted. Instead, however, they have dropped significantly in recent weeks after a stellar first few months, leaving them just a few points above the drop zone. They have quality in their ranks but above all, they seriously lack confidence.
Team News
Pongracic is injured for this one as the only absentee for Lecce.
UdineseSome fans may remember when Udinese, as a club, was seen as the next big thing in Italy. Alas, it's been a long time since they've mixed him in Europe with some of the game's brightest young stars. These days, they linger around the mid table with no real direction. Hopefully in the summer they will be able to find that boost that will take them to the next level.
Team News
Ebosse and Deulofeu are both injured for the visitors.
Factors to consider When they last met in December, Udinese beat Lecce 2-0. Lecce have drawn and lost five of their last six games. Udinese have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six games. Lecce have scored two goals and conceded nine in their last six games. Udinese have scored nine goals and conceded nine in their last six games. ConclusionWhile Lecce stumble hugely, Udinese don't really have much to play for in comparison - and Lecce always seem to be playing a bit better at home, as evidenced by their close encounter against Napoli a few weeks ago. . We expect this to be a game of few odds with the hosts getting the upper hand on some rallies, and in the end we'll end up with a draw as the two split the spoils.
