Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on February 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Lecce

The Giallorossi do not lose three rounds in a row, as a result of which not just left the relegation zone, but moved away from it by five points. The team started this period with an unexpectedly confident away win over Parma - 3:1. Then Lecce stopped the Champions League participant Bologna 0:0 on their own field, and after that they didn't lose away to their direct rival in the race for survival Monza - the same zero draw.

Thus, Lecce now occupies 15th place in the standings. Yes, the Yellow-Reds are still last in the offensive rating, having scored only 18 goals in 25 matches, but they have made a step back from the relegation zone, and that is the main issue for the team from the city of the same name.

Udinese

The Stripes are not experiencing problems like Lecce, namely the struggle to maintain their place in the elite throughout the championship. At the moment, the team is comfortably on the 10th line in the Serie A standings and not just ahead of the relegation zone by as much as 13 points, but now they are only 9 points behind the European Cup competition.

Actually, Udinese managed to reduce this handicap on the results of the previous round. On their home field the Zebras confidently coped with Empoli - 3:0.

Also note that by beating Empoli, Udinese extended their streak of gaining points to three consecutive games. Before that, Udine played 1:1 away with Napoli, and at home beat Venice 3:2.

H2H Meetings

The face-to-face meeting between the rivals in the first round of the current championship took place in October in Udine, and the hosts celebrated a 1:0 victory. Jordan Zemura scored the only goal on 75 minutes.

Expert Betting Tips

Udinese, in general, is stronger in composition and its capabilities than Lecce. However, tournament motivation may come into play. Giallorossi, considering only five points from the relegation zone, need points much more than the Zebras. Not in favor of Udinese and away statistics this season - only 3 wins in 12 away games. We bet on Lecce, and we also believe that no more than two goals will be scored in this meeting. Again, the team is still in last place in Serie A in terms of goals.
