Lecce vs Udinese

Netherlands to Score Over 2.5 Goals
17/2 - odds when tipped

Reasoning
Netherlands need to begin their qualifying push, and a fragile Finnish defence provides an ideal opportunity. With Gakpo, Weghorst and Simons likely to lead the line, and Finland conceding heavily at home, backing the Dutch to score at least three makes sense. They’ve hit 11 in their last four versus Finland.

Rationale:

Key Stats:

  • Lecce have failed to score in three of their last four matches.
  • Udinese have scored six times in their last two games.
  • The Friulani have won their last two meetings with Lecce without conceding a goal.

Rationale

Lecce’s inability to score at home has been a major concern this season, and they now face a Udinese side that have hit their stride in front of goal. The hosts have not found the net in three of their last four matches, and their last home victory dates back to December. Their attacking struggles have left them hovering above the relegation zone, with their inability to convert chances proving costly.

Udinese, by contrast, come into this match full of confidence. Their 3-0 win over Empoli last weekend showcased their growing attacking threat, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp scoring three times in his last two matches. Florian Thauvin has also rediscovered his scoring touch, which further strengthens the Friulani’s offensive options.

Adding to Udinese’s advantage is their recent success against Lecce. The visitors have won the last two encounters between these sides, keeping clean sheets on both occasions. Given Lecce’s lack of firepower, Udinese’s organised defence should have little trouble containing them once again. With the visitors’ attack in fine form and Lecce struggling to create clear-cut chances, an away win looks the best selection.
