Lecce and Udinese are set to clash in a pivotal Serie A encounter that could have significant implications for both teams' futures in the top flight of Italian football.

With the battle for survival in Serie A intensifying, this match takes on added importance as Udinese desperately fight to stave off relegation while Lecce aims to solidify their position in the league.

For Lecce, the recent results have brought a sense of relief as they managed to secure their place in Serie A for another season.

Their resilience was on display in their last outing against fellow relegation-threatened side Cagliari, where they salvaged a crucial point despite being reduced to ten men.

This resilience has been a hallmark of their recent performances, with Lecce remaining undefeated in six of their last seven league games.

Furthermore, their home form has been relatively strong, having lost just two of their last six games at home in Serie A.

On the other hand, Udinese finds themselves embroiled in a tense battle to avoid the drop, with new coach Fabio Cannavaro tasked with steering the team to safety in the final stretch of the season.

Despite their struggles, there have been signs of improvement under Cannavaro, with the team remaining unbeaten in the two games since his appointment.

Their recent draw against Napoli showcased their resilience, as they fought back to secure a valuable point in injury time.

However, Udinese's overall record in Serie A leaves much to be desired, with just four wins in their last 39 matches.

Nonetheless, their away form has been relatively solid, having lost only two of their last six away encounters.

In terms of head-to-head encounters, Lecce has a historical advantage, particularly in matches played at home, where they have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored in their last four meetings with Udinese.

Both teams will be without key players due to injuries and suspensions, adding another layer of complexity to this crucial fixture.

Lecce will miss the services of Kastriot Dermaku, Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, Roberto Piccoli, and Ylber Ramadani, while Udinese will have to cope without the likes of Enzo Ebosse, Florian Thauvin, Gerard Deulofeu, Lautaro Giannetti, Marco Silvestri, Sandi Lovric, Martin Payero, and Nehuen Perez.

With so much at stake, this match promises to be a tightly contested affair, with both teams eager to secure a positive result.

Forebet predicts a closely fought draw with under 2.5 goals scored, highlighting the importance of this encounter in the context of the relegation battle in Serie A.
