Serie A returns to action this weekend with another round of matches as Udinese welcomes Lecce to the Stadio Friuli on Friday.

Udinese are eight place in the league table at the moment with just 5 points away from second place. They have been impressive so far and have really stepped up to the plate so far this season. Udinese have not had any problems finding the back of the net this season, as they have bagged a total of 20 goals in just 12 games. At the defense, they remain solid and have only conceded 12 so far this season. They will be going into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw the last time out and will be looking for a better result.

The visitors, Lecce on the other hand are having a horrible season so far and things doesn't seem to be getting better for them. They sit at 17th place in the Serie A standings, just 2 points shy from the relegation zone. So far this season, they have only managed to gather 8 points in all their games played. A very bad record going into this game. Lecce have had difficulties finding the back of the net this season and have only managed to score 9, while conceding almost twice as many. This shows that in addition to their impotency in front of goal, they have a defensive problem to add. Lecce will be coming into this game on the back of a 1-0 defeat against Juventus, and are currently on a 2-game losing streak. They remain winless in their last 5 games, losing 3 times with 2 ending in draws.

Looking at key numbers going into this game, Udinese have a good record against Lecce and have won 14 of their last 23 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Lecce's eight victories. This clearly shows that the home side have the clear advantage in terms of history. Out of 14 home games Udinese have played against Lecce, Udinese have won 11 of these. A very impressive record.

Lecce have been very inconsistent and have had a terrible start to the season and they are yet to cope with the top flight. Udinese on the other hand have been fairly impressive this season and will be looking to make their mark in this game. We are predicting a home victory for Udinese as we expect them to end the game having all three points.

意甲将在本周末迎来新一轮的比赛，乌迪内斯将在周五的弗留里球场迎来莱切。

乌迪内斯目前在积分榜上排在第8位，距离第二名只有5分。到目前为止，他们的表现令人印象深刻，本赛季到目前为止，他们已经真正走上了正轨。乌迪内斯本赛季在寻找球门后防线方面没有任何问题，因为他们在仅仅12场比赛中总共打进了20球。在防守方面，他们依然坚不可摧，本赛季到目前为止只丢了12球。他们将带着上次0-0的平局进入这场比赛，他们将寻求一个更好的结果。

另一方面，客队莱切目前为止的表现很糟糕，情况似乎并没有好转。他们在意甲积分榜上排名第17位，距离降级区仅差2分。本赛季到目前为止，他们在所有的比赛中只拿到了8分。这是一场非常糟糕的比赛。莱切本赛季很难找到球门，只进了9球，丢球数几乎是后者的两倍。这说明除了他们在门前的无能之外，他们还有一个防守问题。莱切将在0 - 1输给尤文图斯之后进入本场比赛，目前他们已经2连败。他们在最近的5场比赛中没有取得胜利，3次失利，2次平局。

从本场比赛的关键数据来看，乌迪内斯在对阵莱切的比赛中取得了不错的成绩，在两队最近的23场比赛中取得了14胜，而莱切则取得了8胜。这清楚地表明，主队在历史上有明显的优势。在乌迪内斯14次主场对阵莱切的比赛中，乌迪内斯赢了其中的11场。令人印象深刻的记录。

莱切的表现非常不稳定，本赛季的开局很糟糕，他们还没有应对顶级联赛。另一方面，乌迪内斯本赛季表现相当出色，他们将在本场比赛中大展拳脚。我们预测乌迪内斯会在主场取胜，因为我们预计他们会在比赛结束时拿到全部三分。
